Historic Riverside Cemetery Conservancy
Nature Photos by Thom Williamson




Thom Williamson, who walks through Riverside Cemetery in the mornings with his camera and his trusty canine companion, shares his photos of the Historic Riverside Cemetery.   These include images of the  boardwalk constructed for the Ocmulgee Heritage Trail.  See Thom's photos on the Historic Riverside Cemetery Conservancy page on Facebook. 
 
Be an armchair adventurer-then enjoy the real thing. Come walk our winter landscape and preview the Trail renovations.  Leave behind the wild life of city streets and workday stresses to gaze upon the wildlife wintering in the cemetery!
