Liberty Cemetery rests among the trees south of Highway 96 on the eastern edge of Greenwood. At one time, Old Highway 96 (now the northernmost lane in the cemetery) formed its northern boundary. It looked much different in 1909 (see photo). Gone is the garden gate and gone are the fences and walls that marked family plots.
