Old Gray Cemetery

Knoxville, TN

Walk through Knoxville History at Old Gray Cemetery, where some of the most gifted and historically important citizens are buried.

This 13-acre Victorian cemetery reflects the divided sympathies of east Tennesseans with gravestones and monuments honoring both Union and Confederate veterans. Many notable Knoxvillians are buried here, including Tennessee’s Reconstruction governor William G. “Parson” Brownlow, confederate Col. Henry M. Ashby and Gen. William R. Caswell, several artists, educators and entrepreneurs, and Eliza Boond Hodgson, mother of writer Frances Hodgson Burnett. 

Directions: 1 mile north of World's Fair Park, across from St. John's Lutheran Church.
