Hall's Cemetery
Location:
From the Baldwin County Courthouse, go east on Hancock St. one block. Turn right (south) on Wayne St., which becomes Business 441 South. Go 0.9 mile to the Vinson Highway (Hwy 112). Turn left at on the Vinson Highway. Go 6.6 miles to Benson-Adams Rd. Turn left and go 0.7 mile (Note that Benson-Adams Rd turns into a gated field road at 0.5 mile). Cemetery is located on the left side, approximately 150 ft. off the road, in a grove of trees. In 2002, it was easier to walk beyond where you would turn into the woods to go to the cemetery; instead go past where you think the cemetery should be and follow a road-like opening on the left. Turn left off the road-like area and enter the woods (and the cemetery) from the back (or southern) side.
