Henry Hollis Horton was the 36th Governor of Tennessee from 1927 to 1933. He was elevated to that position after the death of Gov. Austin Peay, and then was elected to two more terms. After his death in 1934, he was buried in his family cemetery on his farm in Wilhoite, TN. In 1961, this farm in Marshall County was purchased by the state and is now Henry Horton State Park. This grave and small cemetery is easily visible from highway US31A.
