Introduction	Also known as Mount Hope Cemetery, Mount Moriah Cemetery, New Hope Cemetery. Address: 500 Wilcox Road, Salkum WA Contact: Lewis County Cemetery District #2 Directions: Salkum Cemetery is a short distance and 15 minutes from I5. Take exit 68 from I5 and head East on Hwy 12 12.4 miles. Turn right onto Wilcox Road. Follow Wilcox Rd 0.3 miles to cemetery, at end of Wilcox Road – right after Salkum Community Church. Additional Info: Cemetery is in very good condition and well cared for. Cemetery is not fenced in. There is a road going thru the cemetery as well as parking for a few cars directly across from the cemetery. The oldest marked grave was from 1885 and the cemetery is still actively used. I walked and read the cemetery in May 2018 and rewalked and read the cemetery in February 2020. These are the stones that are visible. It is possible there may be other stones, some of which are no longer visible, either under grass or very weathered to where they are illegible. This cemetery did have several very weathered stones.
