Confederate Cemetery – Johnson’s Island

More history in NW Ohio.
It took me a while to appreciate the history of NW Ohio… what with the battle of Lake Erie occuring… in Lake Erie (woah), and this confederate cemetary here (which I only discovered a few years ago). The Black Swamp history. The glass city. The area may seem bland, but the history is there.
There’s not much that can be said about the cemetary… It’s a cemetary. Not as large as Arlington, obviously. But it sure has an impact on you when you walk in.
I’m glad for the photos another user has uploaded here. The cemetary is located on Johnson’s Island out at the tip of Marblehead. You have to pay $ 1 to use the bridge to access the island, unless you can duck through the gate behind a resident islander (or know the code). Once on the island, don’t just go to the cemetary… drive around and appreciate the amazing houses on the «inner circle» inlet. Pretty wild…
And don’t forget to stop at the Marblehead Lighthouse, then grab a bite at Netty’s Chili Dogs. =)
