We spent a number of hours perusing this old cemetery and were especially interested in the Confederate burial area. It has a nice pond and marsh area where we photographed a number of water birds. Supposedly it also has alligators but they were absent that day. It is a lot like Bonaventure Cemetery in Savannah, GA but not quite as... More

This was our last stop in Charleston and we loved the beautiful gardens. We had toured several plantationsearlier in the weeek, so only toured the gardens. We felt it was expensive for adding on their other features since we had already seen so much on previous tours. You do need a car to get to this area. Beautiful!

Have a plot here.The history incredible.Come 4 times a year to visit Family.You walk around and feel the spirits!

We spent about an hour here and saw most of the cemetery. In my opinion, the best ones are over near the Confederate monument, with all the rusting fence and gates, but there are some interesting ones over on the back right side as well. This is where the various crews from the Hunley are buried. This is a place... More

My 9 year old son and I sepnt hours rading the gravestones. I was amazed that a cemetary so old was open to the public.

This is a awesome cemetery to visit. Some of the headstones I saw were dated in the 1700's. The civil war soldiers memorial is great and very sad at the same time. The Hunley resting place is beautiful. The mausoleoms are so unigue. You could spend hours there. We stayed a couple hours and enjoyed driving and walking around.

Being a photographer, the main attraction of Magnolia cemetary are the birds and vistas. It is also a treasure of historic information if that is your interest. It is immaculately well kept. Go early when it opens for birds on the several ponds and tidal creek that are in the cemetary.

I was surprised to find this attraction rated so highly on Trip Advisor. Having now visited, I think I get it. The cemetery's park-like setting is pleasant and full of history. Old crypts and Spanish moss add to the sense of mystery about the place. If you're looking to take a quiet stroll away from the crowds of the historic... More

We meandered through from one headstone to another reading and learning so much about some of the families buried there. The moss hanging from the trees and the beautifully ornate ironwork and incredible stone carvings... We spent a couple hours there and thoroughly enjoyed it. We will go again!
