Chastain Family Cemetery
This old family cemetery is located on the Chastain
family farm, on Shellsford Road, east of McMinnville. Since the 1820s, this farm has
passed down through generations of Chastains. This cemetery is typical of early private
burial grounds throughout Tennessee. Unfortunately, not all of this type of cemetery have been
so well maintained. Many have simply disappeared.
