Shiloh Cemetery aka Old Shiloh Cemetery is
located
just off of Hwy. 315, approximately 6 miles out of Mt.
Enterprise, Texas in the crossroads of CR 3131 and CR 3144.
The Cemetery property is visible from the highway, as it now
extends to include highway frontage. There's a state
road sign which indicates the Cemetery's location.
Shiloh lies along the Trammel Trace
which extended across Rusk County's eastern border. The Trace
bisects the county from the Pine Hill area past Shiloh and into Mt.
Enterprise before entering Nacogdoches County. The Trace has been
marked as an early trail by the Texas Centennial Commission and the Texas
Historical Commission. It was a highway for early pioneers who came
to Texas from Arkansas and other points to the northeast.
