Strange question, what do I recommend? I would recommend anyone stop in and walk the grounds, just once and see if the beauty gets into your soul. Magnificent place!

I was able to visit the grave of my gggrandfather Eber Fowler this week for the first time. The cemetery is beautiful and very peaceful. Enjoyed my time there. Bought a January honeysuckle from the gift shop to plant in my garden at home.
