This was a very well kept cemetery with the monuments divided by state.
Thank you. I would love to see more photos if you can.

Here is a link to their website. There is another link to the historical society. I'll try giving them a call this week and see if they know what it says. Next trip I'll take better photos. Maybe someone on this site lives in the area and could take some.
VA Dave I live about 3 miles away. Will make a point to take a few photos for you. In fact, I may already have some on file but will need to dig ‘em out.Thank you. I would love to see more photos if you can.
John - see my reply to Virginia Dave. I ‘ll do itI do wish that you could have taken a close up picture of the plaque on the statue . It would be interesting to read what it states
No, everything was well kept. It was close to Memorial Day, there were flags on the Confederate graves near the pyramid. The staff was out working with their mowers. I took a tour and I don't know which graves were vandalized. We barely had time to cover what I wanted to see. A tip to anyone taking the electric car tour at Hollywood. Know what you want to see or otherwise you will get the canned tour.Kathy, did you see any vandalism of Confederate graves or markers at Hollywood? I hope not but we know how all the monuments in Richmond have been treated recently. How about the ground; was the grass cut and was everything neat and tidy? I hope it was.
I replied below. I also posted pictures of the cemetery in the travel thread.Kathy, did you see any vandalism of Confederate graves or markers at Hollywood?
