Hopewell Cemetery is on Lael Road (N3280 Road), four miles north of the town of Wynnewood. The cemetery has some maintenance, but we did note many broken and damaged headstones. A barbed wire fence surrounds the cemetery, with an overgrown gravel drive which encircles the area. There are a few scattered trees, but mostly the land is flat and treeless.
There are approximately 250 burials here. We noticed one headstone with a burial date of 1859, however, there were many unmarked stones. Burials are continuing to the present time.
