Damon Miller Farm Cemetery

Highway 566

Hart County , Kentucky

Location: At Linwood on Hwy 31E, turn East onto Hwy 566 (aka Eve Highway) for 2.7 miles. Make a right turn into a long, gravel driveway to a brick house. Just beyond a gate behind the house in a pasture field are two stones which is all that remains of a once sizeable cemetery. The property is located high on a hill above and to the West of Lynn Camp Creek where it empties into Green River.

Comments: In the early 1800s, this property belonged to Elisha and Hannah (Watkins) Gardner. Elisha and later his son, James Heath Gardner, owned a mill at this location and just across the river at 300 Springs, they operated a tavern and an inn. During the Civil War, they sold the property to a man named Garvin. At some later time, it became the property of Damon and Agnes Miller and is now owned by Marshall Puckett.
