What an excellent find and gem Helena, Arkansas, turned out to be! This was the last day of our recent driving vacation along the Great River Road through the Mid-South. I ended with 94 pictures, 7 waymark visits and 35 waymark posts. The absolute highlight and gem would be the Confederate Cemetery and the gravesite of Patrick Cleburne. I had NO idea General Cleburne was buried here, so it turned out to be a VERY unexpected and fortuitous find.

The flags flying are the first National flag of the Confederacy and
the Hardee Battle Flag. |
