I have a great passion for history and enjoy delving into my family's heritage. Visiting rural cemeteries is a normal pursuit for me, but this particular cemetery is situated in a secluded area on private land. Fortunately, in Tennessee, there are no restrictions on visiting ancestral cemeteries located on private property. Generally, as a rule of thumb, I do try and get permission. When coming to Moore Cemetery, don't bring a low vehicle. It is much better to bring a jeep, truck, or SUV with a 4-wheel drive, especially since this is really out in the elements with mud and gravel. The cemetery's also a little off of the road, so you'll need good outdoor shoes that can handle the dirt. This specific cemetery holds a special place in my heart due to the abundance of intriguing stories behind those interred here. There's an 1812 patriot, a man who met a tragic end for stealing whiskey from his friend and then his brother, who later married his widow, raised a large family. The most interesting part? I'm a direct descendant of all of these people. Moore Cemetery is in Henderson County near Dogwood Lake. When you go here, put in the coordinates of 35.7175827, -88.2300515 to get to the location or find it on Google Maps. I put it there a few years ago, and I'm glad I did. That was the first time I had gone there. If you're a taphophile, then you will enjoy this excursion. This cemetery is another captivating stop among the many rural cemeteries and graveyards scattered throughout Henderson County, TN. read more

Grandfather is buried here, as his entire extended family, the Moore's. There is an old man who bought this property in 2017, who caused issues the very first time we explained why we were there, and asked permission. The cemetery is secluded and hard to get to, due to this man blocking the road way and destroying the easement to it. I've noticed that others have been there, seeing fresh flowers on a few gravestones at times. Rest assured you are not the only ones dealing with this man. read more
