  • One of the best small national cemeteries developed during the Civil War era, in my humble opinion, and I've seen many. My son and I found it taking a wrong turn while wife and daughter were attending University of Tennessee (Go Vols! LOL) orientation. I did not know that East Tennessee refused to join the CSA during the Civil War and fought for the GAR, as explained in the interpretive plaques. The final resting place of two CMOH recipients, Timothy Spillane (Civil War - died 1901) and Troy A. McGill (WWII - KIA 1944). For tree lovers, it contains one of the largest black maples (Acer nigrum) I have ever seen and it is in good condition!
  • We stumbled upon this while visiting Knoxville, stopped and drove around. It’s well taken care of.
