Oakland Cemetery: Oakland Cemetery
  • Tip Rating:
  • This Cemetery is beautiful. It is Atlanta's oldest cemetery; it was built in 1850. Walking around, you can see history, which is still being made.

    There are tours that inform you about the Architecture, sculptures and the symbolism on the different graves. One of the main symbols being the Confederate Lion.

    The main reason a lot of people go here is to see Margaret Mitchell's grave, but they then discover there is more to this Graveyard than just Mrs. Mitchell.

    This is the oldest in Atlanta. Details see their webpage, photos will be added later.

    It has Victoria section, black section, Jewish section, potter's section and confederate section etc. It is a large, peaceful place where many locals picnic, bike and rest.

    This are many notable people buried here. It is a very beautiful garden cemetery. It has a lot of pretty stones and history to look at if you like that sort of thing.

    The area in which the cemetery is located in seems a little run down.
