Norwegian Cemetery

(Also called Zion Cemetery)

Location: The cemetery is now within the city limits of Lawrenceburg, Lawrence County, Tennessee. From the square in Lawrenceburg, go west on Waterloo St. When the road divides, follow the right fork (Buffalo Rd.) rounding a curve and going up a slight incline to the traffic light. Go through the traffic light and travel a little over a mile. The cemetery is on your right on a slight rise. There are a great number of unmarked graves easily found because they are slightly sunken in. Some monuments are leaning and others are broken with names and dates unreadable. One stone has appeared for many years as if it would topple off the bank and into the road. Although overgrown for many years, the cemetery is now taken care of by the City of Lawrenceburg.
