Click Here for interesting info on the trail and how it got its name.
Towards the end of this trail, coming up the ridge I saw this:
I have never seen this little cemetery before so I had to investigate!
This little marker was the only one I could barely make out:
The only words I can see are "Sid Dide August 1823"...I think...
I was going to ask about the cemetery in the park's visitor's center but they were busy with a large group so I just came home and Googled it. Little is known about the cemetery, but oral tradition has it to be "Sparks" and perhaps having been a slave cemetery. It was in use before the Burroughs purchased the property in the mid-nineteenth century.
Some interesting reading Here and Here
I've shown you around Booker T before HERE
Linking with Tex's Good Fences & Signs, Signs
