If visiting one must wear hiking boots and long pants and should be in fairly good physical condition. An insect repellant is useful in the warm weather as the premises looks like a 'tick haven.'

The monument was made from a cast of a large tree stump. A hat and boots are at the base of the tree stump. This is the end of Liberty Cemetery, Minersville. I did see one or more tombstones at the top of the mountain but they were not reachable at this time. Last one to leave the cemetery, please close the gate...
