Rostrum at Cave Hill National Cemetery, Louisville, Kentucky
Located in the "military section" of the Cave Hill National Cemetery, this structure is all the remains of a rostrum constructed in 1898. It was once a speaking platform for the various remembrance events and ceremonies held in this section of the cemetery. It has not seen use in a number of years, and though somewhat conserved, it has fallen into relic condition.

New Albany National Cemetery, Indiana
For any number of reasons, I've always felt a special connection to United States National Cemeteries. Usually referred to as "Military Cemeteries," these green spaces are the final resting places of millions of American veterans and their spouses. This is a brief photo tour of the one located in New Albany, Indiana.

Forgotten Graveyard under a Baseball Field, Jeffersonville, Indiana
In the midst of construction work for a new pedestrian bridge in Jeffersonville Indiana, a Civil War Cemetery was rediscovered. While its existence wasn't a mystery, its exact location was. As it turns out, children had been playing baseball on top of a graveyard for the better part of a century.
