HICKORY VALLEY CEMETERY
Hickory Valley Cemetery is the cemetery of Hickory Valley Methodist Church. It can be found on Hwy
167 N about two miles from Cave City. The church building, with a sign in front identifying it sits on
the left side of the road; the cemetery is across the street. Its entrance is a gap in the fence, closed off
by a heavy wire with white rags tied to it. The wire is easily unhooked, allowing access to the cemetery.
This is a small cemetery, but there are several graves marked only with field stones or stones so
weathered they can no longer be read.
