Harrison Cemetery   (View Grave Layout)

The Harrison Cemetery is located on the North boundary of Amelia Island Plantation. Contact the Amelia Island Museum of History at 904-261-7378 to obtain access to thie cemetery. An access easment is located apporximately 600 feet South of Plantation Point Drive on the West side of A1A (First Coast Highway).

The burial ground is on the original Samuel Harrison Spanish Grant of 1793. Neither Captain Samuel (1737 -1818) nor his wife Isabel McQueen English Harrison has a monument here. However, one should remember that there is no local stone on Amelia Island and all such monuments have to be imported. Monuments made of wood have long since deteriorated.

In addition to Harrison family members buried in this cemetery, a re-burial of Indian remains found on the Dorion Dig are interred in one corner of the cemetery in a mass grave.
