Rocky Mount Cemetery

Directions are: From the West (Asheville ) ...take interstate 40 West to route 321 North (exit 127). Go approximately 4-6 miles to Grace Chapel Road and turn East. Go roughly 3-3.5 miles to Rocky Mount Road (Triangle Gas Station is on the corner). This road is a winding road that loops back to Grace Chapel Road. The cemetery is in a clearing along the lake and is on the left hand side. It should be approximately 1-2 miles from Grace Chapel Road.

If you miss that turn off, take the second turn right onto Rocky Mt Road, and the cemetery will then be on your right, around the bend, near the river.

There are no identifying signs and appears to be an old family graveyard.
