Old Settlers' Cemetery

Old Settlers' Cemetery is a graveyard in North Carolina that contains burials of early settler families who helped establish the region. The grounds feature a collection of headstones and monuments marking graves from different periods, spanning generations of the local community.

The cemetery was established as a burial ground for the region's earliest inhabitants and became the primary resting place for founding families. Some of the oldest gravestones provide insights into the earliest phases of European settlement in the area.

The cemetery is open to visitors on foot and paths between graves are generally easy to navigate. Wear appropriate attire out of respect for the sacred nature of the space and keep noise to a minimum.

Many gravestones carry hand-carved inscriptions with names and short personal messages left by relatives from centuries ago. These stone writings offer an intimate look into the relationships and emotions of the early inhabitants.
