Truly a Wilmngton must-see. The walkways defined by incredibe (tomb)stones from modern day to intricate art work now only gazed upon or cared for by strangers, family now long gone. Traces of countless types of ironwork surround those fortunate enough to have family plots. The chaperones are knowledgeable and careful to allow time to wander, but if one wanders away... More

Very cool! Loved this! We really enjoyed the confederate cemetary! The yellow fever section was different. The masoleums were cool.

One of the great places to visit - many famous people are buried here - from the Kenan-Flagler matriarch, David Brinkley to Henry Bacon - see who you can find!

I am fortunate enough to live within walking distance of Oakdale cemetery and frequently go on walks there. Every time I go through I see something I have never seen before.

Built without row and rows of standard layout, the layout and diversity of each area is perfectly done. There are some... More

In the springtime, this historical cemetery is a floral wonderland. The old growth dogwood, redbud, azaleas and bulbs are beautiful. Beautiful headstones from the Civil War era to present with some famous people who made their mark throughout the U.S.

HISTORY. Movies should be made here! I have many relatives here, so love to visit this place. Live Oaks and Spanish Moss give great atmosphere,
