Virginians Visit Magnolia Cemetery

I had a really nice time on March 15 showing a group of Virginians from my parents' (Northern) Neck of the state around Magnolia Cemetery

 Thanks to cemetery superintendent Beverly Donald for her hospitality and the man upstairs for delivering delightful Chamber of Commerce weather! Special thanks also to Diana Russell who organized the three day trip to Charleston for your friends and neighbors. 

We walked the grounds around the front part of the cemetery for a good two hours before the visitors, unfortunately, had to leave for lunch and to visit some other Charleston attractions.

On a Splendid Saturday CofC Students See Magnolia Cemetery

I was so excited and proud to take my 20 College of Charleston "Beyond the Grave: What Old Cemeteries Tell and Teach the Living" students to Magnolia Cemetery on a special Saturday tour. On Feb. 20 we all met in front of the Stern Student Center for the short bus ride to the Cunnington Ave. Thanks to the First Year Experience program at the College for funding the transportation via Lancaster Tours.
