This is the story of the Old City Cemetery in Lynchburg, Virginia, as told by Jane Baber White, Director Emerita. It s her personal story as she followed her passion and fascination for the place for twenty-seven years. She developed a vision and called upon hundreds of friends, new and old, to make that vision a reality and to save the stories discovered along the way. This book is about what she did, why, and how . . . and how the renewed graveyard, or gravegarden, looked once upon a time when she retired.
