The Rodney Town Cemetery is located on the wooded bluff behind the Presbyterian church. Abandoned, it not only contains the remains of locals, but also the graves of river travelers, and folks from Saint Joseph, Louisiana, across the river from Rodney. Many of the graves are enclosed in rusting ornate wrought-iron fences. Here can also be found the traces of Confederate Civil War trenches that overlook the old river bed. These defenses once gave a commanding view of the area and the river.
