In Springfield start at W. Division Street and West Bypass. Head west on W Division St and travel 1.7 miles. Turn right onto N. Alliance Ave. and travel 0.6 mi. Turn right onto W. Production Street. At 0.1 mi, the cemetery will be on the right. The old burial ground is within the fenced/gated field to the left upon entering the parking lot. There are no headstones marking any of the burials.
In the parking lot is the large cemetery monument created from about 80 of the old stones, only four of which are engraved with names. All the others are only engraved with numbers. The large main stone on the monument gives the history of the Greene County Almshouse as well as the following scripture from James 2:5.
"Hearken, my beloved brethern, hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?"
