From the intersection of Rtes 522/20 in Unionville, take 522 north/west for about 4.3 miles. Turn right onto Route 663 (True Blue Road). The church is about 1� miles down on your left at the intersection with Route 622 (Old Office Road).

This is a small rural church cemetery in fairly good condition. It is located in Orange County, but has a Culpeper zip code. Formerly known as Palmyra Cemetery and owned by the Palmyra United Methodist Church, the current name was adopted about 10 years ago. It is open and accessible with some trees and shrubs.

This is a complete listing of all readable stones and markers at the time of my visit. Based on the mounded and bare terrain in several areas, it appears there are several older burials that are not marked.

I walked the grounds and transcribed all the gravestones and markers on Jun 25, 2012. This is a complete listing as of the day of my visit.
