Strange! Trailer Trad Halloween at Richmond's Hollywood Cemetery Mausoleums

 Happy Halloween from Trailer Trad. I enjoy walking through the beautiful, historic downtown Richmond cemeteries; especially Hollywood Cemetery. Throughout the city's long history, its most prominent citizens have been laid to rest there. 


This is me feeling an increased sense of apprehension as I headed into the foreboding walls and gate of Hollywood cemetery, the historic resting place for countless great Virginians. Just kidding. Actually, all of my selfies are like this.

A Church with a Cannon: A Richmond Landmark


Next to the grounds of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts is a beautiful little gingerbread chapel. Like most church sanctuaries, it contains many stained glass windows. But this chapel has four striking, rare windows that are beautiful in their folk-art, yet modern simplicity. They were crafted and installed in the late 1800s to honor veterans of the Civil War. Timeless and beautiful.
