Established in the 1770s by the Sinking Spring Presbyterian Church on 11 acres purchased from Dr. Thomas Walker, this historic cemetery holds the stories of Abingdon's founding families. The land was acquired from Dr. Walker, an explorer and wealthy land speculator who promoted the development of the Town of Abingdon.

Family-Friendly Experience: The tour content is appropriate for families, though very small children may become tired or bored during the hour-long walk. There is nothing scary about the presentations or location. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended due to uneven ground.
