Friends of Decatur Cemetery

Sometimes trees come down with a saw, sometimes with the wind. We are so grateful for the arborists who work for City of Decatur GA- and manage our trees as they do other City parks & greenspaces. Thank you!

Apples, pears and plums will be ripe soon! We love our Decatur Cemetery orchard!

We think VisitDecaturGA lists the best events! Thanks for sharing our newest walking tour! We look forward to seeing folks on Sunday, May 17 at 2pm for a tour through some ASC and Decatur history.

Join Friends of Decatur Cemetery for a Decatur Cemetery Walking Tour on Sun, May 17 at 2pm. This guided walk through Decatur’s largest downtown greenspace and will visit the gravesites of notable figures from Agnes Scott College.

Agnes Scott College was established in 1889 and their mission has evolved into a commitment to educate students from around the world to “think deeply, live honorably and engage the intellectual and social challenges of their times.” This tour will walk through Agnes Scott history, Decatur history and will touch on how both the College and the City have grown together.

We are grateful for our hardworking volunteers all year long, and we are glad to celebrate them during Volunteer Appreciation Week with some treats from Revolution Doughnuts. It is a cool coincidence that these volunteers are standing in front the marker for of one of the three Revolutionary War soldiers that we have at the Decatur Cemetery!

What a treat to have the Decatur 101 Class (https://www.decaturga.com/cd/page/decatur-101) join us for a Decatur Street Names tour this morning.
