One of the most beautiful places in Wilmington has very few visitors, and some of those who visit, come to do damage. Its history is long and tells us much of what we were and what we have become.
Oakwood Cemetery is a peaceful, quiet city of the dead. The Mill Race gurgles along beneath it, giving an audible sound of peace. But it wasn't always this way.
When Wilmington was first settled, there were no laws concerning burial of the dead. Many families preferred to bury their dead on their own property.
