Mitchell County, NC - Buchanan Cemetery - Glen Ayre ~~~~~~~~~~ MITCHELL COUNTY BUCHANAN CEMETERY - GLEN AYRE (This is also known as the Dicey Buchanan Cemetery.) LOCATION: A few hundred yards before Glen Ayre (coming from Bakersville) you will see on your right a large mailbox with the number 5977. Park in the gravel area across from the box and walk to the cemetery, up the road. ACCESSIBILITY: Difficult. The access road is steep and narrow. Driving to the cemetery is definitely not recommended; the road is one lane and initially paved but it quickly deteriorates before the turnoff up to the cemetery, which is more than a 300 degree angle back to the left. Few vehicles would be able to make the turn, and there is nowhere to turn around. There is no parking at the cemetery. CONDITION: Fair to good. OLDEST DATED GRAVE: # 45, 1876.
