Myers Cemetery
Townsend, Blount County, Tennessee

The oldest cemetery in Tuckaleechee Cove, dating to the late 1700s. The first Baptist church was located at this site, later moving just east to the Bethel Baptist Church site. Many of the earliest settlers of the area are buried here, including two veterans of the War of 1812, William Brickey and William Scott.
