This Benchmark is relatively easy to find as evidenced by the fact that I tripped over it while searching for another nearby waymark.

Walk up the street to the Historical marker located at the corner of the cemetary and the garden surrounding the Visitor Cnter. about 1 ft sout of the base of the marker post is the benchmark approx 4 inches above ground and easily visible.
