Interesting shopping experience! Rutledge Exchange is in a building shared with several small businesses. I was able to pick up a pair of earrings and browse through some antiques and coins while I was there. There is also a women's apparel store and gifts on site. A great choice if you need something unusual. I will be back!

We traveled to Camden for the annual RevRun Half Marathon. We always to maximize our sightseeing time in new cities. I researched key places to visit; the Quaker Cemetery was among the sites I most wanted to see. While my husband was running around Camden seeing the city's historic sites, I spent a reflective and peaceful Saturday morning at the cemetery; I was the only person there. The gates are open seven days a week from 8:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. Visitors are welcome. According to the helpful map available inside the gate (in an enclosed box), early Quaker settlers established themselves in Camden first known as Pine Tree Hill about the year 1750. Several Quakers are buried here and are identified by the brick arched graves with no headstones since the Quakers did not believe in monuments. These set of original graves is found on Quaker Avenue South. The map makes finding notable graves quite helpful. The cemetery is rich in history and those buried there include physicians, ministers, prominent merchants, men of both foreign and northern birth, veterans of wars since the American Revolution, orphaned children from the Camden's Children's Home, infants who died but parents did not have a family plot; and those very recently deceased. Before entering the cemetery proper, be sure to visit the Revolutionary War Park and Old Presbyterian Cemetery to see a monument to those lost in the war as well as the grave of Agnes of Glasgow. 'Legend' says she died while looking for her British lover. I particularly admired the brick wall around this park; many walls in town follow this simple long-lasting pattern.

Although the site was "closed" to visitors, we still enjoyed walking around the area and reading the very informative information about the buildings, and the Revolutionary War battles in the area. Will need to come when they are open!
