From Decker Prairie on Hwy 249 turn on Decker Prairie-Rosehill Road. Go approximately 2 miles and turn right. Wright Road Baptist Church is on corner of Decker Prairie-Rosehill Road and Wright Road. Go past this, and turn right on the first gravel road. Key Map 248P.

Decker Prairie Cemetery was given historical recognition in this article that appeared in the Courier on January 16, 2006. There is an Early Settlers Certificate #2 with lots of information on Isaac Decker in the Vertical Files at Montgomery County Memorial Library. Come by and take a peek.
