This family cemetery is the final resting place of James Madison Graves in 1895. He was a scout and guide for Stonewall Jackson during the Civil War. He led confederate troops through the short cuts in the mountains. One night, while the union soldiers were trying to capture him, he slipped out of the house, and slept with the grazing cattle on the hill above the cemetery.
He was also at Appomattox during the surrender of the Civil War.

On your way back down say high to the goats.
