I'm not a huge cemetary tourist, but this one is a definite exception. We went to see the gravesite of Duane Allman and some of the background to several Allman songs and albums, but also found 200 years of history surrounding us as well. You have to go to really appreciate this place. Do it in conjunction with a visit...

The day we were here it was raining, which made the trip to see Duane Allman & Barry Oakley's graves even more other-worldly. The graves are simply elegant and serene.

This cemetery is a serene place to go and reflect, besides being of obvious historical value. I sometimes go here to pray, or just enjoy the landscaping and stonework.
I was amazed by this place. Kind of creepy but so beautiful at the same time. What history!! It was the place to go to end the day of Allman Brother Band touring. Seeing where they went to make their music and the beauty of the cemetary itself was a wonderful experience.
The Cemetery is actually listed as Rose Hill Allman Brothers Association. The graves of Duane and Berry Oakley. It is said that the Allman brothers found peace and inspiration as they often visited the cemetery.
I like walking around here. It is an interesting place and I like how it kind of winds around and isn't just one path.
I personally like to visit historical cemeteries and note the dates of birth and death. Reading the (legible) tombstones sometimes tell interesting stories. The Jewish cemetery had birth dates from the 1700s. There are areas for military burials and family plots. Fascinating.
Historical and very peacefully pleasant. However, if you drive, the roads can be challenging, especially if you drive a large vehicle.
