Elcanah Meadows Cemetery

Elcanah Meadows Cemetery
Powell County, Kentucky

Elcanah Meadows Cemetery rests quietly at the edge of the woods just off Chop Chestnut, a short turn down a gravel lane beneath spreading Kentucky trees. Tucked on a gentle rise, the cemetery is embraced by towering oaks and pines, with sunlight dappling the headstones and wildflowers nodding in the breeze each spring. It’s a place where generations of neighbors and kin are laid to rest—some marked with flowers and stones, others remembered only in family stories. Visitors are welcome to walk among the graves, reflect under the old oak, and share any pieces of history or memory they may hold. Every name here has roots in this hillside, and every story is a thread in the tapestry of our community.
