A historic pearl, that s what it is. Ivory said the cemetery is increasingly seeing more visitors. Saturday s cleanup will only help in that cause, he said. Once the walls and the grounds are restored, Ivory said he hopes to repave the road that runs through the cemetery and even bring in some historical help to restore some of the older headstones. He even plans to add benches and landscape the bank of the resaca that runs through the cemetery.
People come in here and just sit and think.
Many kinds of birds can be seen in the wide variety of trees. Parrots, green jays and kiskadees regularly feed in the trees and the brush around the resaca. All three of the Americorps volunteers were speckled with paint by late morning. It s not that bad.
