Historic Cemeteries

These historic cemeteries within the Great Smoky Mountains National Park preserve the heritage of the Appalachian pioneer communities. Located primarily in Cades Cove, Cataloochee, and the Sugarlands, these sites feature hand-carved headstones, fieldstone markers, and traditional burial practices. They provide a genealogical record of the families—such as the McCarters, Olivers, and Palmers—who established farms, churches, and schools in these remote mountain valleys before the park's creation in 1934.
