Magnolia Cemetery

Magnolia Cemetery offers a rich historical experience with its many old gravestones, including those from the US Civil War. Visitors can explore the scenic grounds, featuring majestic oaks adorned with hanging Spanish moss. A self-guided driving tour is recommended to appreciate the cemetery's beauty and history, including the burial sites of soldiers from the US Hunley. However, potential visitors should be aware of safety concerns, as prisoners may be working nearby, which has led to reports of harassment. It is advisable to visit when there are no large white vans present to avoid any uncomfortable situations. Despite these issues, it remains one of the safest places to walk in Augusta and provides unique opportunities for exploration and reflection.
