Pleasant Hill Church Cemetery
Rev. D.L. McCoy, Pastor, United Church of Christ

Location: Lake Wheeler Rd., Wake County, North Carolina

Directions from Raleigh: From Interstate 40, take the Lake Wheeler Rd. 
exit and travel south about 8 miles until you come to the intersection 
of Optimist Farm Rd. and Lake Wheeler Rd. A hundred yards further south 
will bring you to the tidy brick church on the right side of the road, 
next to a pond. Behind the church is the cemetery. This is an African 
American congregation.

Unfortunately, the cemetery is in a state of severe neglect, unkempt, 
and with graves scattered about at random. A number of graves are unmarked.
