The cemetery is filled with trees, some with moss hanging from the limbs, a peaceful setting. The first burial was in 1822, the last in 1954.

Tombstone Tuesday
Resting under Moss and Trees
Resting under Moss and Trees
I spent a few minutes in the Grand Gulf Military State Park Cemetery on a hot, high humidity Mississippi afternoon. There are six Union soldiers buried in the cemetery, five who were from Colored Regiments. I wanted to find one of their headstones but was too eager to get back in the air conditioned vehicle.

The cemetery looks so peaceful. I really like the picture with the sunlight filtering through the moss on the trees.
It was peaceful. The cemetery had stone benches for you to contemplate.
