This Churchyard is one of the oldest Baptist
Churchyards in Tennessee, Established in 1789. It is the final resting place for many prominent pioneers. Deeded to the City of Sevierville by the First Baptist Church of Sevierville in 1975. It was preserved and made into a quiet mini-park during the Nation's American Revolution Bicentennial Celebration through combined efforts of the City, Sevier County A.R.B.C., Tennessee A.R.B.C., A.R.B.A., and Civic Clubs.
Dedicated July 4, 1976
"This ground has been gouged by bulldozers several times over. A store was built here in the 1950s. Later, engineers widened and deepened the river in a flood control project. Both efforts likely obliterated some graves. Light gardening has gone on here as well. "
