The Tennessee Historical Commission is excited to announce the release of the new Statewide Cemetery Map and Tennessee Historic Cemetery Register!
The Cemetery Map has been populated by data from the Commission’s cemetery database. Thanks to the efforts of Andrew McDonagh and Leah Fuller at TDEC and graduate assistant Heather White under the direction of Dr. Eileen G. Ermenwein at ETSU, the map contains more than 32,500 cemeteries statewide.
The Historic Cemetery Register provides the public with a way to extensively document historic cemeteries for the purpose of preservation efforts. Applications can be used to submit any information about particular cemeteries across the state.
