Driving Directions: From Iuka, Mississippi, travel Highway 25 South to a motel located near the Highway 72 and 25 overpass. The motel was originally the Days Inn, but now it is currently called the Sunset Motel. Turn right and drive past the motel for about 0.1 of a mile. Turn left onto an old drive on the left, and the cemetery is located down the hill on the south side.

This is an African American cemetery. Unfortunately, there are no markers at this gravesite.
