Add PhotosMany of the graves are unmarked and can only be discerned by depressions in the ground. Others are marked with uninscribed field stones. At least nineteen graves have inscribed grave markers, the latest of which dates to 1950.
After family members lost control of the cemetery property, the cemetery was used as a dumping ground for many years. It has recently been cleared of most of the trash and debris. Small trees and leaves were cleared out of part of the cemetery in 2019 by local Scout Troop 300; and it was partially mapped by Longwood University in 2019. The Southside African American Cemetery Preservation Society recently gained full ownership of the cemetery after eight years of working toward this goal.
Graveyard is in woods at the end of Baker Street off the Old Mayfield Road.
