David Craft and Ann Stringfield of the Friends of Green Hill Cemetery gave a tour of that beautiful and fascinating place this afternoon. I took a few photos (click images to enlarge).
Please think about donating to help maintain Greensboro's oldest cemetery. Many of its monuments and its landscaping are falling into disrepair.

Did anyone notice the lawn tractor tracks across several of the old markers? The flat markers are all that is left of the Old Methodist Cemetery. They were moved to Green Hill Cemetery in 1917. They deserve more respect and more careful maintenance.
Thanks David for all the good you do in spreading the word about things like this......

I stumbled across your blog while looking up a quote from Solon. I really appreciate the historical/architectural perspective. If I knew anyone in Greensboro I'd point them to it! (I'm from Wilmington)
