The cemetery was located across the street from my hotel and I had some time to explore. I love historic cemeteries!! It was so peaceful and serene to stroll about the grounds. There is a whole section devoted to unknown soldiers of the Confederacy. So many old & deteriorating gravestones. A lovely place for a stroll and contemplation. I do recommend--great history!
