Best Graveyard

Oakwood Cemetery

If you're looking for the biggest, most gothic graveyard in town, Oakwood wins by far. With graves dating back to the early 1800s, the yard also features the newest in modern gravestones, though the newer section across the street on the East side is not nearly as interesting. During the day, the graveyard is peaceful and shaded - covered with giants oaks and a variety of ivy and flowering bushes. You can make beautiful cards and posters by doing charcoal or colored pencil rubbings off the more ornate headstones. At night, the graveyard is pretty spooky -- but in a fun way. No one disturbs you there, so if you want to be alone, this is definitely the place to go.
