About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

A new cemetery created in 2014 for reinterment of the remains of 20 unidentified individuals believed to have been slaves at Grassmere Farm who died between 1830 and 1860. Discovered in 1989, the remains were left in place at another location on the property until expansion of the zoo made relocation necessary. Archaeologists performed the exhumation, studying the site and remains.

Location is near the Croft House and Dunn-Croft family cemetery at Grassmere Farm, inside the Nashville Zoo property.
*Zoo Admission is charged.
