Jamey was great - Our guide Jamey was phenomenal. He knows his stuff, is witty, and had us laughing the whole tour. He does a great job of combining facts and stories that made the information intriguing. He was more than willing to answer any questions and gave so much insight into the history of the cemetery.

Awesome - The guide was very knowledgeable and added in a bit of humor. Very interesting cemetery. Jamie (I think was his name) even took the extra time to take my husband back into the cemetery to take a picture of the civil war monument!
