🖤 A Little Sneak Peek… 📸

Yesterday, thanks to a dear friend who shared this beautiful location with me, I had the opportunity to explore and photograph another incredible piece of history.

I’ve visited countless historic places, but every once in a while, one touches my heart a little differently.

At one point, I found myself completely alone in the sanctuary, surrounded by silence, beautiful stained glass, and sunlight dancing across the pews.

And I cried. Not from sadness, but from an overwhelming sense of peace and gratitude. Sometimes a place speaks to your soul in ways words simply cannot explain.

The sweetest ladies welcomed me with such warmth and kindness, making the experience even more special.

Had to pay my respects to my favorite author, Anne Rice. 🖤⚜️

Her stories fed my love for the dark, mysterious, and hauntingly beautiful. Vampires, old houses, and a city that feels like it’s keeping a thousand secrets. That woman knew the way to my heart.

There’s something bittersweet about standing outside the tomb of someone whose imagination meant so much to you. Thank you for the beautifully strange places you took us, Anne. New Orleans will always feel a little like your world. 🥀

Most people pass through a town looking for somewhere to eat. I’m looking for an old cemetery with a story. Y’all know how I am. 🖤📷

This is the Texas Confederate Hospital Cemetery in Quitman, Mississippi. Established in 1862 with funds raised by Texans, the hospital cared for sick and wounded Confederate soldiers from several states. Those who died were buried nearby.

Union troops burned the hospital during Sherman’s Meridian Campaign in February 1864. It was never rebuilt, but the cemetery remains.

What gets me is seeing “Unknown Confederate Soldier” repeated across the markers. Each one had a name. A life before the war. Somebody back home who knew exactly who they were.

I always leave places like this with more questions than I came with. And now I’ve got another research rabbit hole to disappear into. Typical. 🖤

Some stories stand quietly beside the road, waiting for someone to stop. 🖤📷

In Daleville, Mississippi, the Sam Dale Monument marks the resting place of the man the community was named for. A frontier scout, soldier, and courier, Dale became known for his service under Andrew Jackson during the War of 1812, particularly the 1813 “Canoe Fight” against Creek warriors on the Alabama River. He later settled in Mississippi and became Lauderdale County’s first representative in the state legislature in 1836.

✨ Fun fact ✨
Did you know that he was known as the “Daniel Boone” of Alabama?

Dale died in 1841. Sculpted by Harry Reeks and dedicated in 1968, the monument preserves scenes from his life in stone.

A quiet grave, a complicated frontier history, and another reason to take the backroads. There’s always a story worth finding.
