You may take St. Rt. 28 or St. Rt.
50 into the City of Milford. As you enter the intersection of St. Rt.
28 and St. Rt.
50 continue on Main Street-Rt. 50. You will pass St. Andrews Catholic
Church. As you descend down a small hill
entering Old Milford you will turn right on High Street. This will
dead end into Carriage Way which is not a road,
just a walking path. I parked at the Lila Chateau Apartments to the
right and walked over to the park. Access: see below.
Pictures and additional inscriptions
taken by Pamela Smith, CCGS member, and Cathy Kemplin, volunteer
on
November 6, 2006. Please notice the fenced area of the cemetery. This
is not actually the cemetery. There may
have been a few burials located within this fence but the majority of
the burials are on a steep hill, in the woods,
along the Little Miami River and within the park grounds. As stones
are found they are carried to the fenced area
and placed anywhere. There are a lot of monument bases still in the
woods and I am sure buried stones - somewhere.
This would be a tremendous task for me and I may attempt to do in the
future. Most monuments have been vandalized
and broke, lost in pieces throughout the park located around the play
area. We found bases located in the ground
where the children play. You can imagine what the neighbors were
thinking as we were digging up the childrens
playground. If you plan to visit please walk the park grounds and then
go into the woods. This cemetery has been
neglected and the site misused as a playground.
