We followed the Civil War trails and this was one of the best stops we made. This place is amazing and beautiful. We have never seen a cemetery like this before and were taken by it's serene views and magnificant head stones and monuments. So glad this part of history will live on forever.

Walking Through History

Visited Richmond, from Mississippi last week. Hollywood Cemetery is a must see for history buffs. With two US Presidents and the President of the CSA burried here it is a must see. The Confederate section is unbelievable.
It is well worth your time to visit this old Cemetery.
