Mitchell County, NC - Edwards Cemetery ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ EDWARDS CEMETERY (FORK MT.) LOCATION: From the intersection of Route 261 with Fork Mountain Rd., drive west 0.7 miles on the latter road. The cemetery, on your right, is marked with a brown sign. There was a locked chain across the access road; I parked at the entrance to the road, and walked perhaps 100 yards up the hill to the cemetery. ACCESSIBILITY: Moderate. It will likely be neccessary to walk up to the cemetery. This climb is not for those who are unfit. CONDITION: Very good.
