| Located in Nashville, Tennessee on 4th Ave at Oak St. Note: the Nashville City Cemetery Organization is now working on a database of names and photos of all of the graves in the cemetery. It should be a wonderful resource when completed. I look forward to helping them with photgraphing some of the tombstones over the summer. Therefore, this webpage will only contain some of the graves I find interesting and historical. I have over 300 photos taken, but have only posted 71 here. Click here to see some random overall photos of the cemetery as well as some of the informational markers. (!warning! High-speed recommended, 29 photos shown on this page) Click here to see some interesting details from the monuments(9 photos) Click here to see the vandalism that hit in March 2004(10 photos) |
