The Herr Chapel Cemetery was established by Reverend Benjamin Herr. The nearby Country Club sits on land once owned by Reverend Herr's father. There is an established path that will take you near the gravestones, but you will have to look to see them. There are backyards of houses that come right up to the edge of the small woods here. This cemetery has obviously been abandoned. There are about 25 markers here. Some markers are for multiple people. Some of the stones can still be read, but a number of them have fallen over or have faded to the point that they can't be read. There are a number of war veterans here and a number of small flags have been placed by their markers.
There is a geocache located here as well that you can get while you are visiting.
Entrance to the cemetery is along a well established trail on Sample Road.
