The Gilliland Cemetery |
Wife and son of Ed Evans |
Inscription on the stone of Biddie Harris |
Noah Gilliland |
The Gilliland-O'Dell house located across the street from the Cemetery |
Where is it?
The cemetery is located outside the National Park off Hwy. 32 on Gilliland Cemetery Access Road about 14 miles from the Tennessee/North Carolina line on the Tennessee side. After turning onto the road be prepared for a rough mile long drive. There are at least two creek crossing that can swell during rainy days. I'd strongly suggest a truck or four wheel drive as the road is nothing more than a hiking trail you can drive on. Its a fun ride but be careful!
