Old Cemetery

This is the view from inside the cemetery looking at the church. You can just tell how old by the gravestones.


Okay so Sunday after church a friend invitied us on a little sight seeing tour of some smalls towns around Hinesville. So we agree and set off. Well we made it to two little towns Pembroke, and Midway. I cant say much about Pembroke just it was a cute little town. Now Midway is where we spent some time. This little town in like Edvale nothing there but a gas station and some churches. Well my friend want us to see this old cemtery. There are some horror stories about this cemtery that are werid and she wanted us to see where it was. Well, we deciede to stop and walk around, and i did not have my camera with us so these are some pictures I found on the web of it. The cemetary was amazing we saw grave sites that were dated back to 1772 and around then. That is before the Declaration of Indepence was sign, even before the US army was established. Anyways also burry here was 2 US Generals that died here during the American Revolution one which is James Stewart, who Fort Stewart is name after.The moment in the middle is the moment for them. So yeah I am not a history person but this little place amazed me. Also there is an old church across the street from it that was built around the early 1800s. They do have a museaum and I will definitly go back and take the tour they give of the cemtery and church.

Also I came home and did some research on this town, Midway, GA. I found also in that cemtery is an former governor of GA. Also there were two people from there that sign the Declaration of Indepence. Also found out that Midway use to be a big town and was very important but during the American Revolution it was burned to the ground. The church that you will see in the pictures is the first thing that they rebuilt to try to developed the city again, but it never happen.

Anyways sorry for all the history, but I was amazed and just thought about sharing. Enjoy!
