   Directions to B’nai Zion Cemetery

From Atlanta, when I-75 splits for Knoxville-Nashville, bear LEFT toward Nashville on I-24. This will take you toward downtown Chattanooga.   There will be another split once you are passing downtown Chattanooga.  Bear RIGHT at the split toward Downtown on I-27.  (Left would take you to Nashville).  

(From Nashville, when I-24 splits for Knoxville/Atlanta-Downtown, bear LEFT toward Downtown on I-27.)  

After you cross the Tennessee River, start looking for the Dayton Blvd Exit.

On Dayton Blvd (going toward downtown Redbank), you will go through the Signal Mountain Blvd. intersection (stay on Dayton Blvd.).  Continue to the next traffic light (across from Ace Hardware which is on your right).  Turn left on Hedgewood Drive and keep going on the winding hilly road (about .8 of a mile).  Before you intersect with Lullwater Road, you will see the Cemetery straight ahead on the hill.  Lullwater is the road in front of the Cemetery.

B'nai Zion members have been given burial at B'nai Zion Cemetery since 1891.
