Hyatt Creek Freewill

Baptist Church Cemetery


Log Cabin Road
Hyatt Creek
Waynesville
Haywood County, NC
To reach this cemetery, take Hyatt Creek Road or Plott Creek Road to Green Valley Road. Take Log Cabin Road on the left. Follow Log Cabin Road to the top of the hill. The cemetery is on the left.
The building which is being used as a cemetery maintainance shed is all that is left of Log Cabin Baptist Church.
It is very apparent that every effort has been made to restore this cemetery and identify and mark all the graves. It is beautifully maintained.
There are many graves marked only with a first initial and a last name. To the best of my understanding, these graves contain a child of the person named on the stone.
It would appear that of the 85 graves here, 34 are infant or children's graves.
This cemetery is still in use.
