Saluda Hill Cemetery, Baldwin County, Alabama

The Saluda Hill Cemetery is located across Hwy. 225 from the old deserted town of Blakeley, once the propionate 
county seat of Baldwin County.  From Bay Minette, travel southwest on Highway 138 (also called Huricane Road) 
some six miles until you reach the intersection of Highway 138 and Highway 225 (Crossroads).  Turn left on 
Highway 225 and travel some 8 miles until you see the cemetery on the left.

The historical marker in front of the cemetery says:

"Saluda Hill Cemetery is a private historical cemetery established in 1824.  Among the graves here is that of 
Zachariah Godbold, the only known Revolutionary War veteran buried in Baldwin County.  Many Blakeley residents 
and confederate soldiers also are buried in the cemetery."

Over the years, the cemetery has been treated poorly by vandalizes.  Most of the tombstones have been broken off 
their bases and are laying on the ground as slabs.  Their as several slabs with writing on them that cannot be 
read and also several stone crosses.  the majority of the burials in the cemetery are not even marked.
