Pickwick White Sulphur Cemetery inside Pickwick Landing State Park

Описание: In today’s video, we explore the quiet, rolling hills of Pickwick White Sulphur Cemetery, a hidden historical gem tucked away inside Pickwick Landing State Park in Hardin County, Tennessee. This peaceful burial ground offers a rare, physical link to a community that existed long before the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) reshaped this landscape in the 1930s. As you walk among the headstones, you are walking through the history of the families—both Black and White—who once farmed and lived in the Tennessee River Valley before the construction of the Pickwick Landing Dam and the subsequent flooding of the basin.
The cemetery is named for the White Sulphur mineral springs that were once a cornerstone of local life in the 19th century. Today, it stands on high ground, overlooking the park and serving as a silent witness to the massive geographic and social changes the region has endured. Within its gates, you’ll find the final resting places of early pioneers and military veterans, some dating back to the 1800s. Whether you are a history buff, a genealogy enthusiast, or just looking for a moment of reflection, Pickwick White Sulphur Cemetery is a poignant reminder of the lives that built this area of Tennessee.
