Description
What is the Decoration Day Cemetery Quest?
This event is designed to connect each participant to the human history of Big South Fork National River & Recreation Area through the important tradition of celebrating Decoration Day on the Cumberland Plateau. During this quest, you will visit several historic communities within the Tennessee region. Located within these communities are precious cemeteries where the past members of these communities are laid to rest.
This Year’s Decoration Day Cemetery Quest Starts Saturday, May 4. The quest will take participants to different cemeteries throughout the region in search of site-specific information. Complete the quest by May 31 and earn a unique challenge coin and points toward the GO BIG 2024 Challenge. Pick up your quest booklet at Bandy Creek Visitor Center or download it after 9 am ET on May 4 at Decoration Day Cemetery Quest - Big South Fork National River & Recreation Area (U.S. National Park Service) (nps.gov)
