Alternate
Directions: Bennington cemetery is located to the North of the NS tracks. The easiest way to get there is exit US22 at Gallitzin and travel North on Tunnelhill Street approximately 1 mile. Turn right on the 2nd road once you pass the Sugar Run Road. The game commission has been working on the road. The railroad uses this access frequently. About two miles into this area the road veers toward the railroad tracks. Follow this until you see a road veering to the left. This should put you at the cemetery. The other option is to park on the Sugar Run Road and hike across a stream, tracks and some climbing.
