On the Grid : Oakland Cemetery
"The best place in Atlanta to hang with the dead. Less than a mile from downtown, Oakland Cemetery is the resting place to some of Atlanta's first citizens and dates back to the 1850s. Mausoleums and ornate tombstones decorate the 48 acres where an entire day can be spent learning about its residents through guided tours. Other events such as ghost tours and festivals are held throughout the year as well. The cemetery is open to the public year round, so you're welcome to stroll through, if you dare." - Matchstic
