Also know as Rices Corner Burial Grounds

Located on Old Rome Road town lines between the Town of Watertown, and the Town of Hounsfield in Jefferson County New York. 

We visited this little graveyard in the fall of 1998 and spring of 1999.  The burial ground is not visible from the road. You need to drive in to the farmer’s field. Looking up the knoll to the left you can see a fenced area at the top. A swamp is located at the bottom of the hill on the far side of the cemetery. Many of the stones are broken and weathered making it hard to read many inscription.
