Had a great time driving around the cemetery I would highly recommend getting a map from the office as it points out all of the highlights of the gravestones and people buried there including Confederate soldiers. The stone pyramid was much larger than I expected and an awesome site. Highly recommend the visit if you are in town. I would allow at least one hour if you want to get out and take some pictures for a quick drive through could be 10 to 15 minutes. You can walk it but it's a very long walk I recommend driving.

A must visit in Richmond. We visited on a beautiful early fall in the late afternoon as the sun was beginning to set. This is a sprawling cemetery with historic significance. There are many benches for quiet contemplation or just to take in the best view of downtown Richmond and the James River that runs through it. It is large and hilly so we drove through making stops along the way.

This was our first visit to Richmond, and Hollywood Cemetery was one of our first stops. This is a huge cemetery, and we made the mistake of NOT stopping at the office for a map but we were able to pull one up on our cell phones. The cemetery was very quiet and peaceful, and we saw many people walking their dogs, cycling and jogging throughout the cemetery. Everything was beautiful and well maintained. We enjoyed visiting the grave sites of James Monroe, John Tyler and Jefferson Davis as well as the Civil War Memorial and the graves of more than 18,000 Civil War soldiers. The view of the river was awesome. I would highly recommend anyone interested in history to do some research and make a stop here if visiting the Richmond area.
