Today I took a step back into time. I disconnected myself from the Twenty-First Century and walked into history. I visted the most quaint cemetery in Monroe County. I went to Eagle Cliff/ Miles Cemetery. My uncle suggested I go there because of the beautiful scenery and history. It was full of both.
Located off of D Road in Waterloo is the cemetery. Start on HH Road in Waterloo, then take a left on to D Road. You need to continue down D Road until you see the cemetery's sign. Turn right into the driveway. This is about a five mile drive. Its gravel driveway follows a cornfield till you enter the cemetery. There is a small clearing for parking.
It is open to the public during the day but prohibited to visit at night. It has a couple of old stone benches under towering old trees. I will give you the history and description tomorrow. This is a must read for anyone who loves Illinois history!
