In Georgetown travel east on E Market Street, turn right or south onto Park Street and continue to the intersection with Springfield Road. The road to the cemetery will be about 1/3 mile further on the east or left side of the road, approximately 300 yards on S.E side of Park Avenue in open field, Across from main entrance to Sussex County fire fighting school.

This is a small family cemetery which is on the private property of Mrs. Betty Truitt & family. The cemetery is directly behind her home. Permission should be granted from the land owner to visit this cemetery.

The Wilson Cemetery is 20 feet by 40 feet, with a two and one half foot stone wall around the perimeter. Tombstones are legible. Since my visit the family has cleaned out the cemetery and it is now in good condition.

I visited and walked this cemetery in August of 2007. This includes all existing and legible stones and markers found at that time.
