These are all scattered around Colonial Williamsburg. The last one is the Jones Family Cemetery, also known as the Secretary's Office Graveyard. The gate was locked so I couldn't wander around. It is very small though. I have seen photos from ghost hunts with mists coming up out of the graves! Spooky! If you are obsessed with old graveyards like I am, I found this interesting yet sad story from the Virginia Gazette that ran in 1918 about the graves of Williamsburg. You can read that HERE and you can see more old stuff by visiting Roan @ Rubbish By Roan
you know you're gonna have to link this to good fences, too - even if you have another post for thursday. :)

ReplyDeleteI wish someone would fix up the lovely first gate, she looks kinda sad, appreciated the links :-)
ReplyDeleteI'd guess you'd find lots of old stuff around old Williamsburg. That first gate is most interesting...it looks like someone wanted to be creative with that bottom piece, but wasn't quite sure how to go about it! :)

ReplyDeleteIf you had only expressed an interest, I'm sure your boys would have boosted mom over that wall so she could have a look around!
ReplyDeleteThere is something about that first one that makes me say it is my favorite, but they are all nice. I enjoyed the article. I am obsessed with graveyards, but only during daylight hours. Thanks for linking up!

Gates have also its histories, I feel☆☆☆ I sometimes think about the differences of the cemetery of ours and the other countries. ;-)
