How nice that restorations are underway. We must never forget! This is located where? I have a site on www.findagrave.com & would be curious to see if any of my hubby's relatives are there. Wonderful shot of that gate and beyond!

@cimes1 It's located in Franklin Tennessee, a couple of blocks away from downtown. There are several others we want to visit soon.

Looks like the gate could do with some restoration Lin. I'm all for rlooking after out graveyards, these are our ancestors at rest. Nice capture.

Cool old cemetery! Don't you wonder about the lives of those who are buried there? They must have some interesting stories! Nice capture!

Great pov in this. and thanks for the historical context. Makes me sad to think how many died, on both sides, in the American Civil War.
