Houchins Cemetery is a family cemetery containing ten burials, the earliest of which is from around 1890. The markers are all unmarked fieldstones. The cemetery is wooded and the landscape includes numerous cedars. The boundaries are not clearly marked. The government made improvements to the road, so that, although it is gravel and one lane, it is easily traveled in good weather. The Houchins Cemetery sign is clearly visible from the road but to get to the cemetery itself you will have to climb the about 5 foot almost vertical berm on the side of the road. Not impossible but keep this in mind if you visit in bad weather.

Also, you cannot access the cemetery from the south end of Houchins Ferry Road. It is not clear on maps but the Houchins Ferry no longer operates and there is no bridge. Visit the Mammoth Cave National Park Visitors Center for a map and ask the park rangers about weather and road conditions. They are happy to help.

The Visitor Center phone number is 270-758-2180.
