Situated high above the James River, Hollywood Cemetery was a popular picnic spot known as Harvie Woods before it became one of the most historic cemeteries in the country. In 1846 it was set aside to create a rural cemetery and little did they know that within 20 years it would be used extensively for Civil War burials.
Presidents Circle is a must visit with the graves of James Monroe, John Tyler and Jefferson Davis.
There are also the graves of 28 Confederate Generals including my favorite JEB Stuart.
