Directions and Visitor Information
Access to the cemetery
The cemetery trails are part of The Wilderness Center’s public trail system, and are open to the public everyday from sunrise to sunset. When arriving at the cemetery, open the gate and drive through, and then close the gate upon leaving.
Coming for services
The burial procession forms at The Wilderness Center’s Hart Interpretive Building (see directions below). If you are planning to attend a graveside service and have a mobility issue, please alert Foxfield Preserve staff of your need. Attendees with mobility issues can be transported at the cemetery by Foxfield burial staff directly to the burial site with advanced notice, weather permitting.
Public Tours
We offer public tours of the cemetery each year. When coming to a public tour, travel to the The Wilderness Center’s Hart Interpretive Building and enter through the main entrance. After a brief presentation and Q&A, those interested will drive the one mile to the Preserve to see it first hand. We request that all attendees register in advance for these tours so that we can plan accordingly. If you are concerned about your ability to view the preserve due to a mobility issue, please contact us to discuss other options.
Directions
The address to use for direction in map apps is 9877 Alabama Avenue Southwest, Wilmot Ohio. We advise staying on state and US roads when visiting us. Since Google Maps includes local routes by default in its directions when visiting us from the north, we suggest staying on US and State Routes, such as US 21 and State Route 62, instead of local roads that are not designed for through traffic.
From US 250 west of Wilmot, turn north on Alabama Avenue Southwest, go about 1/2 mile and turn left at The Wilderness Center sign. Our office is in The Wilderness Center’s Hart Interpretive Building at this location.
To reach the cemetery, continue on Alabama Avenue past the Interpretive Building for 8/10 mile until you reach Foxfield Street Southwest, the first street on the right. Turn right on this gravel road and the cemetery is about 1/3 mile on the right.
