Spooky Confederate History with Great Views
This quirky corner of Richmond, Virginia is great for a thrifty date or weekend outing. There are lots of winding paths, great views, statuary and opportunities to learn some US history. Tens of thousands of fallen Confederate soilders rest here, in an area of the cemetary dominated by a Giant stone pyramid. If you believe in 'haunted' places, Hollywood would be VERY haunted. Jefferson Davis is also buried here, along with two other (US) presidents.
Conveniently located close to downtown Richmond with the enterance in the historic and up-and-coming Oregon Hill neighborhood. Finish your outing with a trip to one of the fine neighborhood establishments like Mama Zu's.
