For many years the cemetery was allowed to grow up with briars and weeds. In the 1980s it was cleaned up as an Eagle Scout project. For some years it was mowed at least once in the summer, but from 1996 it was again allowed to revert to high grass. In 2002, it has again been thoroughly cleaned, the stones straightened, and it is being regularly mowed.
Directions to Packer Cemetery
From the monument in Milesburg take Route 150 north for 6.9 miles. The cemetery is on the left side of the road just before the causeway over Sayer's Dam to Howard. There is a very narrow stone driveway beside the cemetery.
