4.7 miles southeast of Louisa, Virginia, on Route #642; a
few yards to the right or south of road, located on top of
the hill.
Louisa County

Owners:
This property was first owned by the Egglestons. Joe Eggleston is said to have
been the builder of the home which once stood south of the cemetery. This
burned many years ago, so there is nothing left but the cemetery. "Eggleston
Hill" was sold to a Gold Mining Company, which operated there in a small way
several years prior to the War Between the States.

Description:
All remnants of the old Eggleston house has disappeared and the old road which
used to wind up the hill has grown up. There is barely a trail leading up the
cliff. The cemetery is located right on top of the hill. It was a large one
enclosed at one time by a white picket fence, remnants of which can still be
seen, but now grown up and covered over with honeysuckle and periwinkle.

A number of stones have fallen from the graves, but several could be easily read.......
