A needle in a haystack. This "cemetery" gets a 3.7 stars because:
1. The mystery of it all. The last recorded burial was in 1910. So somewhere, under all that dirt, there are human remains. There are no identification markers, except for one that was erected as a monument by Augusta in 1981. Surrounding the site are homes and a highway.
2. It's peaceful and there's a bench.
The community surrounding the cemetery looks sketchy, but it's probably because it's so old. I didn't have any problems there, though I don't recommend visiting after midnight without a taser or a proton pack.
Augusta has a wonderful opportunity to develop this cemetery into a walkable, possibly botanical attraction, but still maintain its historical identity. It will cost a bit of money, but it will benefit and beautify a community that desperately needs it. I'm sure that roaming spirits would not mind a nice beautification project. read more
