"This place is a perfect example of historic illinois. There is a lot of famous people from around the area here and it is a history lesson here all on it's own. We also love that it haunted as well and the tours in the fall look into the history of the people that have come and gone. So many things have happened here and there is so much more to learn about this historic place."
"I feel a little weird reviewing a cemetery, but this particular cemetery has a lot of Quincy history in it! John Wood is buried there. It's also sits on the bluffs, which gives a nice view for the visitor. For an old cemetery with a lot of history, it's well kept."
"The grounds are very well kept. they trim everything and there is a great view that overlooks the bridges and river. The road is a little narrow with no signs to help with direction, but it still works."
