Sylvester Cemetery is located at 2073 Braeburn Circle.
It began around 1838 as a family plot on land owned by the Terry family. After being neglected for generations, and being almost totally abandoned in the 1970s, the cemetery has been brought back to life by the Historic Sylvester Cemetery Foundation.
