 The Myers Cemetery is located outside of the park in Townsend directly across Myers Road from the Townsend Visitor Center. You can park at the Visitor Center and walk across the road.

The cemetery was founded in 1795 and is one of the oldest in the area. The Myers Preservation Association (MCPA) has done a great deal in the way of improving and maintaining this wonderful cemetery. There's also an official website with more information on the cemetery and the preservation.
