During the Baton Rouge research trip, we, of course, climbed through cemeteries. Magnolia Cemetery in Baton Rouge is amazing. It's a shame that something on the National Registry of Historic Places is not better maintained, but I am sure money must be an issue. But to see gravestones fallen over, broken or covered with fire ant mounds as big as volleyballs is hard.

We also visited the Foundation that oversees Magnolia, housed in the old governor's mansion building, beautifully restored and impressive. Goes to show you that, yet again, those who have passed on get the minimum.
