To date we have visited
169
cemeteries within
Great Smoky Mountains National Park
The following table lists every cemetery we have been to so far within Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The Remembrance Project is specific to the Park itself, so we do not list here any cemeteries outside the boundaries of the National Park that we may happen to have visited.
We still have more gravesites to document. Our eventual cemetery count here will exceed the number of officially documented cemeteries, as some cemeteries are reported as being in more than one place and we investigate each possible site. We have also visited other locations that are reportedly gravesites, although not on any "official" documented list.
We do not necessarily believe that each site listed here is an actual gravesite. Some sites are rumored to be cemeteries, so we explored these places, but may be doubtful of their authenticity.
Many of the old cemeteries have alternate names assigned. People in those days called a place whatever they wanted to call it, and many a location ended up with more than one name, depending who you ask.
Every date listed below is followed by the cemeteries we visited that day. Because some locations are remote, on a given date we often arrange to visit more than one cemetery while we are in the area.
We have posted detailed depictions of many of these cemeteries on the GoSmokies website. To read these, click on the cemetery names that display green in the table below.
