Going from Fallsville, Newton County west on Highway 16 to Red Star, Madison County turn right on Madison County Road 3605. Drive right at 1 mile (you will cross over a low water bridge and also a cattle guard) until you come to a 'Y' in the road. There you will see a sign with three cemeteries on it pointing to the right...follow this road on the right and you will drive about 1.3 and you will see Old Bethel on your left, go past this cemetery and follow the dirt road you will see an old worn down community/church building you will need to turn on the dirt road to your right there. Park your vehicle there and walk down to the cemetery...the cemetery is just down the road a bit, not far to walk.

We would not recommend you going to this cemetery during the late Spring, Summer or early Fall as the snakes will be up and last year we went to transcribe it in April and you couldn't see the fence or cemetery for all the brush and grass was so grown up. But when we went this time (in February) the grass was cut and the cemetery looked really nice. So if someone is keeping it up now it would be okay to go any time of the year...but we've only been out there twice and so don't know if they keep it up or not.

The road is pretty okay to drive on using a car or a low chasied vehicle, as long as you go slow and pay attention to where you're driving.. we went in a pickup just because wasn't sure of the terrian.
