Colonial Park Cemetery
In 1777, a famous duel was fought between Lachlan McIntosh and Declaration of Independence signer Button Gwinnett. Gwinnett was mortally wounded and died a few days later. Opponents in life, they're neighbors in death in Colonial Park Cemetery. The Trustee's Garden Club has done much to maintain and restore the cemetery by installing lighting, repairing broken sidewalks, as well as pruning and planting.
