We didn't know it existed or we'd have visited there many years ago when we were in Savannah. Hopefully we can make the trip this next season while we're working down that way. REMIND ME THIS IS SOMETHING WE NEED TO GO SEE! We love old cemeteries too and that is one thing we're excited about with our job next season...finding old forgotten cemeteries on the refuge!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803801517332763895.post-9490166931760958442011-05-18T16:04:46.959-04:002011-05-18T16:04:46.959-04:00The carvings are indeed beautiful - but so sad.The carvings are indeed beautiful - but so sad.Loreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12520908604580765632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803801517332763895.post-89264164414569591632011-05-18T15:56:30.920-04:002011-05-18T15:56:30.920-04:00Lovely pictures (as usual)

I try to find time to explore the cemetery whenever I visit a new place. You can learn a lot about the area.
