Located near 1821 Seaver Road in the Sullivan Gardens area of Sullivan County, Tennessee. The cemetery is well-cared for. A sign on the fence notes that it is on the National Register of Historic Places. The foundation stones of the original chapel are surrounded by a flower garden. A brick pedestal at the front of the garden (presumably the location of the front door of the chapel) bears the bronze marker of the National Register.<\/p>\n

The Hilltop Mission Church & Cemetery are a little further down this same road.<\/p>\n
