The Old White Clay Creek Presbyterian Church Cemetery is located on site of original White Clay Creek Presbyterian church in what is now the Village of Drummond Hill. It was established in 1721 with the last known burial occurring in 1816.

A new church and cemetery was constructed in 1752 about mile south of the old cemetery, and both cemeteries were in use simultaneously for a period of time during the late 1700s and early 1800s.

The old cemetery, consisting of approximately 1.25 acres, is still owned by White Clay Creek Presbyterian Church. Most of the stones have disappeared as the victims of housing developments, vandalism and neglect. Those that remain were not visible or accessible for decades until the church undertook an extensive clean-up and restoration project in the summer of 2016. A team of professionals worked over three full days to remove underbrush, fallen trees, brambles, etc.
