To reach the cemetery from Wheelock village on Vt Rte 122; cross the bridge and follow Mile High Road about a mile to Pineberry Farm; turn right onto Ramsey Road (looks like a driveway and is not fit for vehicles with low clearance, my Toyota Corolla barely made it over some of the exposed ledges); go past the washed-out Red Schoolhouse Road at Ramsey Corner (there is a granite marker on your left, the bronze plate stolen, which had an arrow pointing west and read, "To the Ramsey Corner Burying Ground"); the cemetery is on your left at the top of the next rise (0.15 mi), just at the beginning of a large lawn.

To reach the cemetery from South Wheelock; go north on Minister Hill Road (do NOT take Red Schoolhouse Road, much is no longer passable, except on foot, even though maps & GPS show otherwise); turn left onto Ramsey Road at Pineberry Farm, follow as above.

Local lore says that when Rev. Eleazar Wheelock explored this area in the late 1700s, the stones were already there.

There are 7 clear burials, possibly 3 more. A dozen American Flags decorate the burial ground, originally placed by a visitor who thought his gr-grfather might be buried there, and kept current by the burial grounds' neighbor, who keeps it brush-free. None of the souls buried here are actually believed to be US veterans.

Stones are currently set to face the sunrise on resurrection morn; but, may not have originally been that way.
