The Saint Augustine National Cemetery in itself is calming. It’s a total contract to how everyone ended up inside it and makes one think.

This is the smallest National Cemetery - only about the size of a city block. Parking is on the street, but we didn't have any problem finding a place . It's interesting to read the headstones and plaques. Also interesting is the large group grave. We enjoyed walking through. We were the only ones there.

The history of this cemetery was incredible. Very well kept and wonderful panels with history. We always try to visit old cemeteries and we were genuinely impressed with this small but full of history place.

We had trouble finding any one who knew where to find this. It is about a block south of the Oldest House. We went hoping to find some names of the 2nd Seminole War massacre. Unfortunately only the Captain was identified. But is was a true tale of the dangers in our early history. A mass grave was used for those. This is a very well maintained cemetery with veterans from several wars of subsequent years, and their spouses. A few children were also buried here.

Had a little difficulty finding the place but it was worth the time. Humbling. Sobering. So many lost their lives....many were quite young. Take a minute to read the plaques. Thank you all for your service. Not sure why the pics are sideways.
