Cemetery Trivia

Faculty lounge readers have had a very successful run over the past year or so with  trivia -- you all picked off trivia on a lawyer's house, Judges' houses, Freedom Riders, an antebellum courthouse, Civil War General Monuments in DC and elsewhere, Confederate general wives', cemetery mounments, and southern monuments.  So I'm going to close this year with a really tough one -- a picture of a cemetery I visited earlier this year.  Where is this cemetery?  Good luck, folks.  This is tough.

Jason -- you're terrific. That's it exactly.

It's a beautiful setting -- you can glimpse a little of the mountains off in the distance if you look through the gates. There's a modest section devoted to Confederate veterans, though the cemetery goes back to the early nineteenth century. Sometime soon I hope to put up a couple of pictures of graves there and the Confederate monument as well.

"Cemetery trivia."

You're "killing" me.

Let the "pun"ishment begin!
