Diggs Family Cemetery

Going East out of Wadesboro, turn right (South) onto NC 145. Travel down this pleasant road for about 2 miles or so and turn left onto Pitt Road. After driving down this road for about 8/10 miles you will see this little cemetery on the right hand side of the road. It is right on the edge of the cemetery. (You would have passed the Liles-DeBerry fenced in cemetery and the peach orchards)

This is a very neat, extremly old cemetery. Most of the graves are encircled with red building bricks. It appears to have some periodic maintenance.
