(on the hill above what was formerly Ellington, KY near Whites Bottoms, KY)

Straight up the hill from the Taylor family cemetery (literally) is the current Pleasant Hill Church. The original church stood on this site, and the Pleasant Hill school was across the road from it. Hard to believe, when the slope is almost a straight drop down. Founded in 1867, the current church has set little wooden plank swingsets and a men and a womens outhouse in the side yard. The cemetery is located in back of the church.

To get to the cemetery, take Highway 61 south, out of Burkesville, Kentucky towards Dale Hollow Lake and watch for signs placed by the congregation or you can turn on Highway 485 (approximately 5 miles out) and stay on that road for about 5 miles or so. Go past Garner-Norris Road to the next gravel road (across from Riley's farm) and go STRAIGHT UP to the top of the hill.
