What you can expect

Hollywood Cemetery is a 135-acre museum filled with stories of war, disease, heroism, and local legends. Are you ready to hear them?

You’ll meet your seasoned local guide by the old stone office before heading to the Confederate Monument — a 90-foot-tall pyramid that’s rumoured to be haunted by the restless souls of the Civil War. From there, you’ll wind through 13 additional sites, unlocking a new piece of history at each one.

Unearth a surprising secret at the tomb of Jefferson Davis. Hear the storey of Titanic survivor Robert Williams Daniel, and uncover the mystery behind the famous cast-iron Newfoundland statue.

Relax and let Junket lead you on a two-hour stroll through this beautifully-landscaped arboretum along the James River. By the time you circle back around to the entrance, you’ll have an entirely new perspective on Virginia history.
