Located inside the boundaries of Bays Mountain Park are three small cemeteries.\u00a0 Two are referred to as the Lower Gregg Cemetery and the Upper Gregg Cemetery.\u00a0 The third is the Quillen Cemetery and is in Hawkins County. The park wishes the exact locations to be kept private to deter vandalism.\u00a0 For this reason, the GPS locations are not revealed.<\/p>\n

The Lower Gregg Cemetery contains six graves marked by fieldstones and one or two apparent unmarked graves.\u00a0 The Upper Gregg Cemetery contains about 30 graves marked by fieldstones and possibly some unmarked graves.<\/p>\n
