I have never been to Hollywood Cemetery. Located in an almost hidden part of Richmond City, Hollywood Cemetery is hard to find! According to the website (this next part is borrowed-just say'n from http://www.hollywoodcemetery.org/about.html)
Hollywood’s paths wind through 135 acres of valleys, over hills, and beneath stately trees of natural beauty and tranquility. The architectural beauty of monuments, statues, buildings, fences, and tombs enhances the setting.That scene appears to be unplanned. Yet skillful design, faithful stewardship, and nature’s blessings have combined to make Hollywood perhaps America’s most historic and beautiful rural cemetery. These attributes have uplifted the spirits of thousands of visitors since 1849.
Truly amazing. 2013, Senior, Tori and I were super excited about our planned session to Hollywood that serves as the final resting place of two American presidents, six Virginia governors, two Supreme Court justices, twenty-two Confederate generals, and thousands of Confederate soldiers.
We took photos, under a gloomy sky that boasted a PERFECT setting for fall like photos in a CEMETERY!! WE had an amazing almost 5 hours of fun, creepiness, and history. WE learned about "the black dog" from a sweet Security Guard and overlooked Richmond City for a Beautiful View. These are just a few sneak peaks from a fab Sunday afternoon!
