Shiloh Cemetery
Pigeon Forge, Sevier County, Tennessee

One of the largest cemeteries in the area. Established somewhere around 1808 at the back of the Shiloh Methodist Episcopal Church(the church being removed in 1928). Many early settlers of the area are buried here: Flayl Nichols, Mitchell Porter, and John Wear. Many of the oldest markers are broken and no longer readable. It is still a heavily used cemetery with a large section for current burials. There is a newer church at one end of the cemetery, that is the Henderson's Chapel Baptist Church.

Location: Henderson Rd, west of traffic light #1
Visited: numerous times from 2003-2007
