The Puckett Station Slave Cemetery is actually comprised of two cemeteries. This was the original site of the Washington Plantation Slave Cemetery, and then from 2005-2006, 85 additional graves were relocated to this cemetery. The relocated graves are all African American burials from a small community that developed near this area after the Civil War. Each stone called a field stone, marks a burial and was relocated, along with the remains, from the original site. Field stones were often used by those who could not afford to pay for headstones. This cemetery is an excellent example of how cemeteries can be relocated and preserved. --Rutherford County Cemeteries Driving Tour.
