Hi Pam --
Jerry is quite right about the 2nd Sharrett Cemetery on Rich Valley Rd.When I did my initial search, I looked all over the place to find "any" Sharrett Cemetery.I didn't find one, so I used a location given on a cemetery locator page (other than the one Jerry recommended) to develop the directions.It's a funny thing -- the "Rich Valley" cemetery is actually shown on my desktop mapping program while the one I gave you before is NOT! -- can't figure out how I missed it, as it is right in the middle of one of the areas I thoroughly (I thought
Anyway, here are driving directions to the Sharrett Cemetery on Rich Valley Rd.:
1.Get on the I-81 until you come to the NW section of Bristol (in VA).Be on the lookout for US Hwy 58.
2.Take the US Hwy 58 WEST (this will head in a N-NW direction from Bristol and meanders quite a bit, so be patient) for about 3-1/2 to 4 miles and look for Hwy 700/Rich Valley Rd.
3.Make a HARD right onto 700/Rich Valley Rd. and continue for about 3/4 mile.
4.At this point, the cemetery is located on the left side of the road a couple hundred feet across a creek.I looked at a recent large-scale topographical map of this and I don't see where there could be easy access across the creek to the cemetery.There must be a small foot bridge there or something -- otherwise, be prepared for a short hike/climb in.
5.If you come to Lime Hill Rd., you have gone about 3/4 mile too far -- turn around and go back.
Hope this helps -- Best regards,
