Shiloh Cemetery in Withlacoochee State Forest

I explored this cemetery in Withlacoochee State Forest, a beautiful resting place here in the Florida wilderness. The African-American cemetery was established some time ago in the late 1800's or early 1900's I am not exactly sure. It is known as Shiloh Cemetery in Citrus County and Russell Hill Cemetery  in Hernando County. For many years it was in disuse but it appears to be active again or at least maintained by surviving family members and volunteers. In the past at some point there was a church that stood by the cemetery but only some of the foundations seem to be left of the site. Special thanks to Friends and Neighbors of Shiloh Cemetery for installing the benches and gate at the entrance and for everyone keeping up with the cemetery. Please be respectful when visiting this cemetery or others like it in the forest and don't disturb the sites. Thank you for watching and enjoy!
