Garrett Family Cemetery is located in the southeast quarter of Section 20 of Victoria Township (Snakeden Hollow). This land is owned by the Illinois State Department of Natural Resources and is open to the public during the summer until October.

Go north on Route 28 from the Williamsfield Cemetery and follow it as it curves its way north. When you pass 2030E (where Salem Cemetery is located), keep following Route 28 as it turns right. As you continue north, you will see a farm field on the left. Stop when you reach the end of this farm field and the beginning of a forest. There will be a chain with a sign stating "Authorized vehicles only". Park your car there and walk the grassy lane (in a westerly direction) along the edge of the farm field...about 2/10 of a mile. The grassy lane will curve to your left (southward) and then curve westward again. When it begins to curve southward again, stop and veer to the right into the forest. There should be a small trail to follow. Follow it as it curves to the left. There you will clearly see four stones in a row. It's apparent that a kind person has been keeping the stones in good shape and clearing off some of the trees and debris.
