White Oak Flats Cemetery

Final resting place of Gatlinburg’s founding families — where mountain history endures.

Honoring Our Heritage and Legacy

White Oak Flats Cemetery is Gatlinburg’s oldest burial ground, established in 1830. Here lie the stories of the town’s founding families — pioneers, veterans, and mountain folk who shaped this land. Many stones remain unmarked, silent witnesses to hardship and endurance.
