“I love old cemeteries and have been to over 200 hundred in New England, but I wanted to see how the designs and images on gravestones in Charleston compared with New England gravestones carved before 1800. I was surprised to see some of the typical skull with wings or soul effigy with wings that are so common in New England, but what surprised me were the number of gravestones with very finely carved images or likenesses of the deceased. If you like old gravestones, then this is a "must see" burial ground.”

“Circular Congregational Church dates back to 1681, making it one of the oldest congregations in the South. The historic cemetery is especially moving, full of weathered gravestones from the colonial and Revolutionary eras, marking the lives of early Charlestonians, merchants, ministers, and civic leaders. The circular church building itself (late 1800s) is striking and unique.”
