Polston Cemetery

The Polston/Poston Cemetery is located on what was once known as the OLD STEPHEN GOODMAN FARM in the 1800's and known as the ISAAC MARTIN PRESLEY FARM in 1930-1971. It is located on a hill, about one-fourth mile off Highway 88, seven miles west of Munfordville, Hart County, Kentucky, in the area known as the Kessinger Community.

Much work has gone into cleaning and restoring Polston Cemetery in Munfordville, Hart County, KY. The dedication of the Civil War Memorial Marker honoring Andrew Polston was held on Saturday, May 4, 2002. The cemetery listing and these photos were provided by Edith Bastin   .
