This is a beautiful spot that in the 1820s-30s was considered to be on the edge of the town - now part of the Martin Luther King Neighborhood - and was opened to accommodate the huge numbers of Lexington residents who died in the cholera plagues of 1833 & 1849. The Episcopal Woman's Club restored the grounds and the historic Sexton's Cottage after WWII when many preservation efforts began to be more aggressive in saving the early landscapes in and around Lexington.
