Mount Holly Cemetery - Hornibrook Monument

We recently made a trip to Little Rock, AR for the Annual Arkansas Gravestones Project picnic. Of course  we had to visit at least one cemetery while we was there. The cemetery we picked was Mount Holly Cemetery.  This is definitely a must see if you are in the area and like older cemeteries.  Mount Holly is a compact cemetery that sits on four square blocks which has roughly 5,000 buried in 1,300 plots. It was established in 1843 and to date is pretty much filled to capacity.  If you love statuary then you will love this place. 

I was like a kid in a candy store.  Just inside the gate the wonderful monuments start showing themselves and you don't have to look very far to find the next beauty. 

The Hornibrook monument is just inside the gate on the left side.
