Midway Cemetery, Georgia

For some people, fall means pumpkin patches and photo ops. To history buffs, it also means prime cemetery tour time!
​
Some of my favorite Coastal South gravestones are in the Midway Cemetery.  Started in 1754 by the Puritans who settled the community of Midway, many of its gravestones contain colonial designs like the one above.

A brochure providing a walking tour of the cemetery is available from the Midway Museum (across the street). This tour features information on individuals buried, as well as stories about the graveyard and unusual gravestones and epitaphs.
