| Graveyards of Virginia |

This started out as a personal mission to photograph and document as many of the cemeteries and graveyards of the southeastern area of Virginia. Unfortunately, I have not been able to re-visit the area. I live near Nashville, Tennessee, and my family that was stationed in the Williamsburg area is no longer there. But I still love the area, especially the Historic Triangle, and still consider this as one of my most favorite places that I have ever visited. My last visit was in March 2006. Presented here are graveyards that I have discovered on each of my visits and are listed geographically, by the county or city they are in. If you have any questions, please read the FAQ/information page first. My searches generally included the Lower Peninsula-James City County, York County, and Williamsburg; as well as some historical areas in Gloucester County, Surry County, Isle of Wight County, Charles City County, New Kent County, and Norfolk. I have also visited many Civil War related cemeteries throughout the state as well as some family graves in other areas. |
