Add PhotosThe second oldest cemetery in Knoxville. Founded in 1850. It was named in honor of British poet James Gray, author of the beautifully penned "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard" Unlike many modern cemeteries, where the grave markers are carved from granite( which is more durable), most of the decorative monuments at Old Gray are carved from marble. One of the most notable sculptures is the Horne monument, which is a near life-size statue of a Confederate soldier guarding the graves of Confederate veterans William and John Horne.
