Robinson Cemetery
The original Robinson cemetery grave markers is located south of the Jones Law Office, also known as the Kelly House. The cemetery was established in a time that was after the American Civil War by subsequent owners of the Law Office around 1865 to 1870. It contains the remains of the Robinson Family. John Robinson, a black shoemaker, and his wife were post-Civil War owners of the property and lived in the law office. It is significant under certain criteria of the National Park Service by virtue of its association with the historic events represented by the park. There are five fieldstones marking burial locations of the Robinson family. Each stone is of random cut, shape, and size. A low rough board fence encloses the location.
