Finding Dean Cemetery in Shenandoah National Park
On this foggy day it was quite fitting to find this mountain cemetery in Shenandoah National Park. It is called Dean Cemetery and I don't much about the history but seems to be an old family cemetery. Before the mountains here were converted into a National Park people lived here. This is a site with the burial records and some information on the site -
Dean Cemetery in Shenandoah National Park
This is an old family cemetery on a mountain in Shenandoah National Park. Long before this area was converted into a National Park families lived on the mountains. The day I found this the clouds and fog were really heavy in the mountains. It made for a great setting in my opinion I hope you enjoy it. Listen how quiet it is here as well... This is a link to the burial records and some information on the cemetery. I am still trying to find out more of the history -

Historic Corbin Cabin in Shenandoah National Park
The Corbin Cabin is a log structure built by George T. Corbin in 1909 in the Nicholson Hollow area of what is now Shenandoah National Park. Corbin was forced to vacate the land on which the cabin sits in 1938, when the land was added to Shenandoah National Park. The cabin is unique in that it is one of a small number of buildings located in Nicholson Hollow spared during the creation of the park, and still remains standing despite recent forest fires. This is a link on the area and the trail and there are a few ways to get where I was -
Please note that this cabin can only be used by reservation only. See this website for details -

Charles Mills on Historic Cemeteries of Northern Virginia
The Arlington Historical Society presents “Historic Cemeteries of Northern Virginia” with author Charles Mills. Northern Virginia’s cemeteries are time capsules, and they offer a glimpse into the lives and fortunes of the famous, the infamous, and those who are remembered for loving their families, tending to their business, and quietly supporting their communities. There are about a thousand in Northern Virginia, ranging from small family plots to huge national cemeteries. How the history of our region can be told through gravestones with stories to tell, including those of Confederate raiders, freedmen, eccentrics, and nation builders. Sometimes, tombstones are all that remain of their stories. The program was recorded on June 9 2016 at the Arlington VA Public Library.
