You can drive up but not advised (rocky, uneven, narrow), the mud quickly turns into grass/ground cover. There is a level spot in the middle of the hill that looks like a car could use it. In 2006 this cemetery was reported in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette to be owned by United Cemeteries where records may be available (from Norm Meinert's Page). Transcribers Note: There are a ton of unmarked graves and there might be a few more markers buried in the grass, it is very high.
