Wheatland Baptist Cemetery, once known as Belcoda Cemetery, and currently known as the Wheatland Rural Cemetery,[2] is a historic cemetery located in the hamlet of Belcoda in the town of Wheatland in Monroe County, New York. It is the earliest cemetery in the town of Wheatland and contains the graves of many of the earliest settlers and prominent residents of the town. It contains stones that date from 1811 to the present, ranging from simple carved early stones to more elaborate mid- and late-Victorian monuments.[3] The name was changed in 2014 by the Trustees to reflect that it is a non-denominational association.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.[1]
