Happy Day of the Dead!! We’re fortunate to have Happy Day of the Dead!! We’re fortunate to have beautiful historic cemeteries to contemplate the lives of generations before us, like Shockoe Hill Cemetery (photo), Hollywood Cemetery, East End and Evergreen Cemeteries, St. John’s Burial Ground, Hebrew Cemetery, Woodland Cemetery, Holy Cross Cemetery, Shockoe Hill African Burial Ground, Oakwood Cemetery, and Richmond National Cemetery.  Many of these sites have programs accepting volunteer help maintaining the sites/raising awareness, so check out their profiles (some tagged here) if you’re interested. #historicrichmond #rva #richmondva #historiccemeteries #virginiahistory #richmondhistory
