Springwood Cemetery

"Stopped by the cemetery after visiting the Confederate Museum in town to see the Confederate monument and graves of unknown soldiers in the cemetery. The cemetery is very large and is a quiet and serene setting amidst the hustle and bustle of downtown Greenville."

"For a historical cemetery, this one was a good one. Some in the South are not very well maintained and some are updated to the point of looking relatively new. This one maintains the sense of history quite nicely. I visited on a rainy day and the steps and walkways were surprisingly safe to walk on. Most of the monuments were legible and many told a sad tale when looking at the ages of the deceased. If you appreciate old cemeteries and local history, this one is worth a visit."

"Hauntingly beautiful. I've been going to see all 88 Greenville National Register of Historic Places landmarks and Springwood is one of the oldest on the list. It was almost like going back in time while riding through the cemetery. I've driven past it many times but, this was my first time entering. Old grave markers, some in much worse shape than others while, some are identified and many unknown. As you enter the main gate on the right are 80 unknown solider tombstones from the Civil War era. There are several commemorative markers and plaques throughout the old graveyard."

"Pretty cemetery to stroll through and look at beautiful old headstones. Nice and quiet right off of North Main. Very well maintained. Lots of history!"

"Very well maintained and clean. Could benefit from a few sitting benches. The free map kept in the mailbox along the route is helpful. The maps would be better to have at entrances."
