Three Washington DC Cemeteries: Glenwood Cemetery

Glenwood Cemetery dates back to the early 1800's. It was first called Clover Hill Farm before changing it's name by decree of the U.S. Congress in 1854 as Glenwood Cemetery. While the cemetery has a lot of old and historic graves, my discovery of the below statues made out fallen tree stumps and bases (created two years ago) was by far my find of the day! The artist is Dayton Scoggins from Mississippi. He is a professional chain saw artist. The four oak trees were carved into Angles, Dragon and Tiger with a rabbit, snake and rat at the base of the Tiger.
