I spent last week in
Columbia, S.C. Along with a nice dinner at the
Liberty Tap Room one night, we found ourselves at the
Trinity Episcopal Cathedral Cemetery. Located right in downtown Columbia, near the Capitol, the cemetery is the resting place for some of South Carolina's most
well-known people, including several of the state's governors and war veterans.
The cemetery is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and features several above-ground caskets.
I liked the decorative gothic architecture of the cemetery and was most fascinated that the chuch building itself is on the same property. There aren't very many churches in Minnesota that I'm aware of with cemeteries in the churchyard.

I love old cemeteries, they tell such stories. It sounds as if you had a great time!

It was a cool experience! Felt a little strange to be hanging out in a cemetery in downtown Columbia on a Friday night, but I still enjoyed every minute of it :)
