Beautiful place! I thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The place is kept up and immaculate. The restrooms seem to be cleaned after every single person uses them. The Mackey House is beautiful, be sure to drive around the back to see it. We will definitely be back!
This was a highlight for me. Very interesting story. The grounds keeper at the cemetery helped us find Douglas' grave. He was so helpful and shared many other interesting facts about the cemetery with us.
Directions: Cedar Hill Cemetery. I-20 exit 4A or 4B. Drive west on Clay St. for one mile. Turn right onto Mission 66. Drive north one mile. Turn right onto Sky Farm Ave. Drive a quarter-mile. Turn left into cemetery (Lindsey St.). Drive only a few hundred feet. Just before you get to the second possible left turn within the cemetery, look to the left; you'll see a small group of Confederate tombstones (some should have Confederate flags). The camel is on the right side of that group, second row in. There's a camel on his tombstone. - See more at: http://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/41405#sthash.r6Rss7RZ.dpuf
PS - if you have time, facing Douglas' grave, look up the hill (and slightly to the right) and see the beautiful piano shaped headstone
