From the intersection of Mills Darden Rd. & TN-200 S, southwest of Lexington, where the Mills Darden's Historical Marker is located, travel northwest on Mills Darden Rd., going 1.7 mi., to a house on the north (right) side of the road. The cemetery is to the rear of the house, back near the wood-line.



Although Mills and Mary Darden's grave markers are the only ones here, it has been reported that there were probably other people buried there, as well as some of Darden's slaves. The grave site had once been included in a plowed field on the farm, and the gravestones of Mills and Mary were destroyed during cultivation in 1973. Since that time, the grave site has been restored and made into a historical marker, with new gravestones for the two of them.
