Original Information from Volume 5 of the Gravestone Books

Shiloh Baptist Church Cemetery is located across the road from the church which stands at 10704 Gunston Road (Route 242). The cemetery is just north of the entrance to Gunston Hall Plantation.

The cemetery was surveyed in 1984, 1988, 1997 and 1998. Surveyors report the existence of over 75 unmarked graves. Surveyors in the 1980s recorded the following memorial marker which was not found by the 1990s surveyors:

this building and grounds beautiful

The cemetery is surrounded by a chain link fence and well maintained. Many old trees shade the site.
