Hi My Friends- To find the cemetery in Crowleys Ridge State Park ask a Park Ranger. You will be directed to the main pavillion, a log structure with food, snacks, a juke box, and dance floor. Look out the southeast corner, about twenty paces, you will see a structure resembling Washington Monument. This is the cemetery with about twelve graves. Ben & Catherine Crowley is there along with a few other names including two by the name of Tennison. I danced there as a teenager, sparked my dates, walked the woods, and never knew gggrands were silently in my presence. It is now well marked by a big sign showing who is buried there mostly in unmarked graves. The whole cemetery is only about 20' X 20'.
