Shorter Cemetery, Alabama, United States

4.0 (13 reviews) Spent Ranking #5 in Eufaula Cemeteries

Well worth the time and effort

This cemetery has been reclaimed from a jungle of foliage, and is apparently a work in progress. Worth the effort to visit.

Difficult to get there, but worth the effort
You cannot just drive to this cemetery. When you get to the locked gate, a sign gives you a phone number to call to get access to a key. Once you do get in, you pass the ruins of the Moultrop home. This is an exotic and emotional thing to see - sad to see something as elegant as this in such a state. Once past the Moultrop, you approach the lake's edge where the cemetery awaits. The Shorter cemetery is ancient but well maintained. It contains the grave of General Reuben Shorter. There is a history lesson there in headstones.

More about feeling than sights
During pilgramidge, Shorter Cemetery is open to public, however, wouldn't pay to visit, as there is really nothing to see. Just a historic spot overlooking Lake Eufaula with a few graves.
