This historical cemetery has roots that include one of the claims to the starting of Memorial Day. Lots of Civil War history. You have to see the crying angel. During the Spring Pilgrimage the local math and science school students choose some interesting characters and role play them graveside. Very cool!

We camp at Lake Lowndes on a regular basis. The staff is friendly and helpful. They do a great job of keeping the grounds clean and looking good. There is a campground, beautiful lake for boating or fishing, ball fields, basketball gym, and disc golf course.
