038/365 - Historic cemetery

Continuing my exploration of Hilton Head Island strictly as a tourist, I did what I once said I’d never do, and that’s photograph a graveyard. This place has so much character though. I felt like I was in an H.P. Lovecraft story. 

I was looking for Masonic lodges on the island, when I learned that the first lodge was actually here on this property. Of course, it’s not there now, but that’s how I ended up here taking photos. The mausoleum is reportedly the oldest building on HHI.
