This cemetery is located about one quarter mile east of the 4 corners where Buck Grove once stood. The Buck Grove Baptist Church was built in 1891 in the grove of trees to the east of the cemetery with the parsonage to the southeast of the church. The Buck Grove Baptist Church disbanded in about 1921. The cemetery has about 75 interments, however there are very few grave stones--mostly destroyed by vandals. Some of the graves are marked by plants such as tiger lilies.
