Beautiful location. The atmosphere very tranquil. Oldest known burial is located in Section E, Plot 1, which was the original private graveyard for the Tattnall and Mullryne plantation families. Harriett Tattnall, who died in 1802.

10 months ago · Google ReviewSeems strange giving a cemetery a review. The front office was very helpful. Make as great a donation as you can. It goes to the historical society. Their work helps preserve the historical significance and affords access and resources. History is why many come here to visit.
