Preserving Heritage, Honoring Memory

MIDDLESBORO JEWISH CEMETERY is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and protecting the history, dignity, and legacy of the Jewish community in Middlesboro and the surrounding region. Our mission is to maintain the cemetery grounds with care and respect while honoring the generations of families and individuals laid to rest here.

For many families, the cemetery is more than a resting place — it is a living connection to heritage, faith, tradition, and community history. We work to ensure that this sacred space remains peaceful, well-maintained, and accessible for future generations.

Our Story

The MIDDLESBORO JEWISH CEMETERY stands as a testament to the enduring presence and contributions of Jewish families who helped shape the local community over many decades. Established to provide a sacred burial ground rooted in Jewish tradition, the cemetery continues to reflect the values of remembrance, compassion, and continuity.

As time passes, preserving historic cemeteries becomes increasingly important. Through volunteer efforts, community support, and charitable donations, we strive to safeguard this important landmark and ensure that every individual buried here is remembered with dignity and respect.
