PLEASANT HILL CEMETERY

Rutherford County, NC

African-American

By W. D. Floyd

From Rutherfordton, NC take Highway US-64 toward Morganton, NC. Go seven miles 
or so, past Westminister, and find Centennial Road going west off US-64. 
Follow this road for 2-3 miles and find Camp Creek Road going off to the north 
in the middle of a pretty good left curve. Follow Camp Creek Rd. down the hill 
and to the top of the next hill where you will find a gravel drive going off 
to the west. Follow this drive about a mile or more until you find a nice 
mobile home on the left. The cemetery is almost directly behind this mobile 
home about 1500 feet over on the top of the next ridge. It is a little tough 
to make the trek over to the cemetery because it is pretty steep and 
overgrown. The cemetery is in thick pine trees and is in pretty good shape. I 
guess the pine trees kind of protects it but look out when they decide to 
harvest the trees. This is an African-American cemetery that needs to be 
preserved since it is way off the beaten path. It needs a road into it and 
some of the trees taken out. There are probably 50 - 100 graves marked with 
field stones and no telling how many unmarked ones. I was there April 17, 
2001.
