Incredible cemetery with a lot of history if you’re into that sort of thing. Tons of old gravestones a lot from the US Civil War. You can see were the soldiers from the US Hunley are buried.

We spent a few hours just driving around and looking and imagining the history from that era. Definitely very scenic and worth your time. No offense intended by the pictures with the rebel flags, they were on some of the gravestones of the confederate soldiers.
