From Main St, in Jackson, travel southwest on Riverside Dr./TN-8183, going 2.6 mi., turning west (right) onto Steam Mill Ferry Rd., going 6.7 mi. turning east (left) onto Blairs Chapel Rd., going 0.7 mi., to the end of the road & the large clearing filled with many graves & the old site of the early Blairs Chapel.

The white section of Blair's Chapel Cemetery, which is older & further east, is in really bad shape. The area is overgrown and lies amid downed trees. Three vaults have been vandalized. Most markers are down and out of place. Only four markers remain upright and apparently in their original positions. Many markers reported in 1996 were not found in 2003. To the northwest and south of the white section are piles of earth and tree debris suggesting that the large open area west and south of the white section was bulldozed in recent years, for more burial sites for the black section.
