Hollywood Cemetery

Took a walk around Hollywood Cemetery earlier today. It is named after all the holly trees on the property. The final resting place of two US Presidents and many Confederate notables here in Richmond VA.

President James Monroe:



Confederate President Jefferson Davis:



J.E.B Stuart. Confederate cavalry General killed during the civil war:









Confederate memorial pyramid built in memory of the over 18,000 enlisted men from the Confederate soldiers buried in the cemetary:





Richmond from the cemetery:



Coal coming from the southwest Virginia coal mines:



Not sure what this is all about:



Not a bad spot for your final resting place:



Hope you enjoyed a little Richmond history.
