This is an old cemetery located in the Little River area of the Mt. Mansfield State Forest, on the slope of Ricker Mt. It can be accessed through the Little River State Park by taking the History Hike and following the Hedgehog Hill Loop Trail approximately 1 ˝ miles North to the upper reaches of this trail. This cemetery will be seen from the trail, it is well cared for and contains 10 gravestones. I visited this cemetery and transcribed the following information on Sept 6, 2000. (Robert H. Morse)
