    Well worth a slow ride though and reading of headstones... REVERANT! Peaceful, serene, the way I think a cemetery should be.  more »

    I don't usual visit cemeteries but we stopped here as part of our Rock Candy tour since it's famous for the grave site of one of Duane Allman (and now his brother Greg). Lots of interesting history.....  more »

    May sound weird, but this is a cemetery worth visiting. Beautiful history and scenery over the Ocmulgee river, great place to walk also!
