Very cool old cemetery, a little bit under kept, but still well worth the visit! Highlights include the grave sites of Duane Allman, Berry Oakley & Gregg Allman of the Allman Brothers band, as well as the alvove that contains the grave of Elizabeth Reed, where the ABB used to come to practice and party!

Beautiful and magical. Great place to bring your family and have a picnic just like they did a century ago...
