| "Our Little Maria" |
King Street is well known for the expensive stores and exquisite restaurants, but hidden between is a pathway that leads to a place far different. Flowers and trees adorn the way to the graveyard of
Unitarian Church. The church was build in 1772 on 4 Archdale Street Charleston, South Carolina. The yard has been lightly manicured, while still allowing the natural environment to grow freely.

| Family plot |
Family plots hold many old grave markers with carefully thought epitaphs and ornate fences. One grave states "with a mind strong, comprehensive and aspiring, he united those traits of character. which adorned the husband father and friend. In his death, Science and Literature have caused to mourn. &pure&liberal Christianity. to deplore the loss of an able advocate"

| Epitaph |
The hours and location of this graveyard make it's access limited, but appreciated. Ive always noticed tourists and mourners when i've visited the graveyard, as opposed to other burial sites that are usually vacant. Unitarian church has also held ghost tours since 1996. The beauty and mystery of this yard allows it to be a quiet place to spend time and appreciate the
history of Charleston.
