Slave Burial Site at Sweet Briar

I went to the burial ground expecting it to be a little spooky. Everyone told me it was really creepy, but I didn't find it so. I thought it was very beautiful and peaceful. I felt uncomfortable walking around the burial site since I knew I was walking on people's graves, I would have been content to just stand at the entrance and observe. The depressions in the ground where the bodies had been were disconcerting, and I thought the grave markers would be more uniformed. Still, I thought it was a beautiful place for a burial ground.
