Harmony Grove Cemetery is just located off W. Paces Ferry Road in Atlanta’s Buckhead. Dating back to 1870, the cemetery’s earliest burial was the infant son of James H. “Whispering” Smith, a prominent landowner whose estate was near today’s Governor’s Mansion. The last known burial was in 1982.
Buckhead Heritage’s rehabilitation of Harmony Grove Cemetery earned the 2009 Preservation Award for Excellence in Rehabilitation from the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation.

The Buck Creek School is a one-teacher schoolhouse near Finchville, Kentucky, in Shelby County. It was built for $1800. Completed in 1920, it was used until 1957. It was converted to a residence in 1959. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Greenwood Cemetery was founded in 1903 in Louisville, Kentucky. It is a historic Black cemetery that fell into disrepair after neglectful owners stopped caring for it. In recent years, the local chapter of the National Association for Black Veterans (NABVETS) has volunteered its time to assist with upkeep. It’s estimated there are at least 800 veterans buried in the cemetery.
The NABVETS are there almost every Saturday helping maintain and improve the cemetery grounds.
If you would like to follow along to see the progress on the cemetery, you can find more info on their two Facebook pages. This one seems a bit more active.
While on a road trip to Louisville, I took a short detour through Cynthiana, Kentucky. It was afternoon of Halloween. Most of the houses were decorated for Halloween, but not this one. They skipped directly to Christmas decorations. I was amused that the owners of this 1950s bungalow had already adorned their home with wreaths, manger, and a gingerbread house.
