Take the Blankenbaker Parkway exit (South) from 1-64. Take Blankenbaker Parkway to the first light, and turn left onto Bluegrass Parkway. Follow Bluegrass for about a mile and the cemetery will be on the right.

When you see the lake on your right, you will know you are there. There is a circular lane where you can pull over. You will be able to see the cemetery from the road. It is surrounded by an iron fence. Walk over the bridge to get across the lake. There is a paved walking path that surrounds the lake area. This whole area is behind the corporate headquarters of Papa John's.

The cemetery is maintained nicely. The grass is cut, and there are no weeds. There are approximately 15 grave markers here. All of the stones are so old that they are unreadable; on most, it is difficult even to tell the front from the back. One stone has an SAR 1775 Patriot plaque, and is purported to be the grave of Samuel Blankenbaker.
