Place:Cypress Gardens Cemetery, Kittredge, Berkeley, South Carolina, United States

Cypress Gardens was created in 1909 by Benjamin Rufus Kitteredge on the original rice fields of Dean Hall Plantation. Today, the walking paths through the gardens follow the tops of the dikes. Kittredge opened the gardens to the public in 1932 and his son, Benjamin Rufus Kitteredge, Jr., transferred the property to the City of Charleston in 1963.

"A little over a mile down a winding trail, meandering around and along the murky swamp waters, lies this cemetery almost hidden in the forest. Brick walls surround what presents itself like a formal garden, pierced by a towering cross. Inside those walls, visitors can find the final resting place of Benjamin Rufus Kittredge, and his family, forever interred on this place they loved so dearly." (SC Picture Project)
