The left lane is the main entrance to the cemetery. We recommend that you park your car outside the main entrance and walk around the horseshoe shaped lane. The first back turn is rather tight for our modern day cars to comfortably make the turn. The cemetery is small, so the walk is short.

The inscription on the Memorial Plaque reads, "ORIGINAL SITE FIRST METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH ERECTED IN BASS RIVER ABOUT 1800 AD. CONTINUED AS A CHUECH TO 1852 AND USED AS SCHOOL HOUSE TO ABOUT 1870."
