我们去看HL Hunley 潜水艇,知道有3名船员被埋在这里。这个故事很棒,我们想去亲眼看看为船员们立的纪念碑。这是座美丽的公墓。

(Old South Cemetery)我们在这座老公墓呆了几个小时,尤其是对联盟军埋葬地感兴趣。这里有一处不错的水塘和湿地,我们照了一些水鸟的照片。估计应该有鳄鱼,不过那天没看到。这里很像佐治亚州(GA)萨凡纳(Savannah)的Bonaventure公墓,不过风景没有那么好。还是值得一游的,而且游客不是很多。邻近还有几处其它公墓,也值得快速参观一下。下午六点关门。

这里是我们在查尔斯顿的最后一站,我们很喜欢这里漂亮的花园。这周早些时候,我们游览过好几个种植园,所以这次只游览了花园。如果附加上它们的其他游览主题的费用,我们觉得很贵,因为在之前的游览中我们已经看过很多了。要去这个地方你的确需要一辆车。漂亮!

我们在这待了大约一个小时的时间,参观了大部分的墓地。在我看来,最好的墓地是联邦纪念碑附近的,墓地,所有的墓地们和周围的篱笆都生锈了。但是后面也有一些非常有趣的墓。这里不同的人埋在这里,从亨利号开始。这是一个你情不自禁就能感受到历史的地方,而且能感受到内战。反映了那时的人和家庭,让人情不自禁的感触到要珍惜现在的生活。不超过150年后,人们会旺季所有但是这些会显示历史,这些人完成与未完成的一起扔,大部分人不知道这些人为什么生或死。

我们参观的这个墓地很棒。我看到,有些墓碑是18世纪的。美国内战士兵纪念碑特别好,但是同时也让人很伤心。亨利号潜艇休息处很漂亮。墓地非常独特。 你在那里可以度过好几个小时。我们在那儿的几个小时,四处行驶、走动,都很好。

It's amazing how big it is...and the setting is beautiful...the mix of nature...with man...very appropriate place to return to the earth I think. In the background you can catch glimpses of the Ravenal...over a swamp...the pond in the center of the cemetery attracts interesting birds to watch and the headstones are so unique...it is a lot like a sculpture garden...also, visit the couple of surrounding cemeteries.

A lovely, quiet cemetery on the Cooper River. Great for bird watchers & history buffs. Old live oak trees shade grave markers from the late 1700s.

One of the better maintained & beautiful cemeteries we have visited while in Charleston. The office is very helpful with maps & info pertaining to particular grave sites to visit, and were also very informative to learn about. I do suggest checking this place out for its history & beauty.

The Magnolia Cemetery is one of the most beautiful places I've ever visited. The peace and serenity of the atmosphere and the antiquated feel is just overwhelming. Even if cemeteries creep you out, the plants and scenery around the gorgeous headstones and mausoleums are appealing. I've been here twice and each time I love it more and more.

Magnolia is one of the largest and oldest cemeteries I've ever visited and I've visited hundreds of cemeteries. It's literally big enough to get lost in. Don't miss it if you're a taphophile!

Charleston, SC is a gem - great place for American History buffs. So clean and safe for visitors. I love the heritage of this City.

On the banks of the Cooper River lies a well hidden gem. One would never guess that just a stone's throw away from the unsightly path of industry lies such a beautiful park like cemetery. I stepped back in time driving throught the magnificent gates. There are two beautiful lakes with many wetland birds, immaculately kept landscape, and vistas of the Cooper River and Ravenel Bridge. I went in the office and was greeted with kindness and given a map that was full of information about the historical grave sites. The monuments were like none I have ever seen. I highly recommend putting this site at the top of your visit. I know I'm going back.

Its like walking throughout the pages of a history book. See the family burial plots and read the tombstone to catch a glimpse of their lives. Wonderful tribute to the Confederate dead. Hallowed ground to all the heroes that gave all the had to their cause.

This is a short drive from anywhere in Charleston. If you have a GPS it should be no problem. There are a few cemeteries back on this road but this one is extraordinary. It might seem peculiar to want to visit such a place but I think the monuments and the iron works are just as good as some museums offer. We just bought a 3d camera and I wanted to practice with it and knew this would provide me with exceptional picture taking opportunities. I was right, the pictures are stunning. The grounds are well maintain which is remarkable considering the size of the cemetery. It is also very beautiful with spanish moss hanging from the trees. Definitely wear walking shoes. You can drive through, which we did but there is also parking. It is a very nice way to spend the afternoon under the trees and to walk back in a time where honoring the dead is more than a plaque in the ground but is an art form. I think it is a must see experience.

Slightly further north of downtown than you think you can go, the well kept cemetary is true low country. The marsh is barely at bay. The office house is a quaint old structure worth visiting. The staff directly me very clearly to my great-granparents graves.
