Brown's Mill Presbyterian Cemetery, Antrim Township, Franklin County, PA

This graveyard is located directly south of the Brown's Mill schoolhouse, near Kauffman Station. This is one of the oldest cemeteries in Antrim township, with legible markers dating back to the 1770s.
The church originally associated with this cemetery was locally known as "Trinity Church". A school was erected in connection with the church in 1836. The school still stands and has become a historic landmark, as shown in the photo below. The land for the school was donated by Lazarus Brown, who is buried here.
Antrim township used this school for educational purposes until 1922. In 1935, the school building was restored by a memorial association of interested persons. Currently the site is administered by the Pennsylvnia Historical and Museum Commission.
