    As promised yesterday, there’s more from Sandersville. This time, the City Cemetery, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places:

    Sandersville’s City Cemetery National Register Sign

    Some beautiful statuary within:

    Not all of the plots are marked with statuary, but some have beautiful markers.

    Sandersville the site of a skirmish on Sherman’s March to the Sea, and according to the official history, probably took place in the cemetery grounds itself.

    A plot marker in marble, together with the U.S. and Georgia flags.
    The St. Paul AME Church, seen through the fall foliage.
    Long-leaf pine is typical of this area, and provides some lovely shade.

    An enjoyable time on a beautiful fall day. See all of the photographs from Sandersville in the updated gallery here.

    Sandersville, seat of Washington County, was the photography destination this past weekend. Gerald and I wanted to get out and enjoy this beautiful stretch of fall weather, and this small city — with its National Register-listed cemetery (more on that tomorrow) — hadn’t yet been explored.

    Dr. Gate, W. Haynes St.

    There was a pleasant little park off what I’m calling Courthouse Square (it doesn’t seem to actually be named that):

    Park Arch, S. Harris St.

    The Washington County Courthouse is a beautiful and historic building, like many here in Georgia:

    Can’t close without a plug for the home team:

    See all of the photographs from Sandersville in the new gallery, and stay tuned for more tomorrow. Thanks!
