From Richland, IA: Travel east on Hwy 78 for 1 mile, turn south on Hwy 1 and go 2 miles to H17/110th St. Turn East (left) and travel 1 1/2 miles.

This cemetery was established circa 1860 by the Howard Grove Baptist Church, as their burial ground. The Church was also on the site but now is gone.

Cemetery is now owned by Howard Grove Cemetery Board and it is very well maintained.
