| Location:
Located about 0.3 mile west of
K-25, about 300 feet south of the Oak Ridge Turnpike, in the woods
on top of a hill. There is a footpath up the rather steep
embankment, and the white wooden sign with the numeral "2"
is visible at the edge of the woods. On Tract H-738, obtained
from Rhea and Catherine Gallaher.
This rather large cemetery is designated
"Slave Cemetery" on the AEC Oak Ridge Area map.
About half of the more than 90 grave are marked with field stones
with no inscriptions. There are two, possibly three small
depressions outside the fence, which may be children's graves. *2008
Update - Go out Oak Ridge Turnpike toward Kingston (past Kingston/Lenoir
City split), to 1.4 miles past Blair Road stoplight, turn left on to
gravel road just past ETTP Visitor Overlook. |
