Interesting place. Quite a few interesting people buried here. The cemetery is quite old and historic. You can the where Thomas Wolfe and OHenry are buried. Some of the tombstones in this cemetery are quite stunning. It is a walk trough history.

This is an interesting old cemetery located near downtown Asheville. There's a lot of history here. There is a veterans cemetery and several crypts. The layout is somewhat odd and maze-like. There's a mixture of multiple aesthetics and what appears to be a lack of central planning. This is still however a beautiful and interesting Cemetery to explore.
