Because it was such a cold windy day, we choose to drive around the cemetery. The roads are old... read more
Why do they put fences around cemeteries...people are dieing to get in, anyway go see the civil war soldiers north and south buried together. a lot history here.
Not well maintained, debris scattered everywhere. Older graves and stones neglected when they fall.
Beautiful cemetary. Be sure to watch out for when they have guided tours to learn about the famouse and infamous residents buried there.
My mother was doing a garden club showing at this cemetery because they have so many different type of trees on the grounds. Normally I would have never thought to visit a cemetery for anything other than to see a relative's grave, but I wanted to support my mother and went anyways. I am glad I did. My girlfriend and I had a good time seeing all the old grave stones and large buildings that some people are burried in. Make sure to look along the side facing Harrisburg to see the stone buidlings. And while I don't really care too much about the different kind of plants and trees that are there, but if you do this is a great place to visit. We spent at least an hour there and only walked about 1/4 of the grounds.
People look for different things in a cemetery. We like a nice setting, but we also like sculpture like tomb markers and decorative mausoleums. We found this to be much more of a head stone only area.
It is fenced in, so check hours. It closed at 4PM on weekdays.
This cemetary is one of the most beautiful ones I've seen. Bonaventure in Savannah has nothing on this one. Although it is interesting to look at the various headstones, you would also appreciate it for the gardening. The trees are gorgeous and the place as a whole has a very serene feeling.
