Hi all - just curious to visit Lee Co., in the fall and visit some graveyards. My research shows me that some of these cemeteries are on private land. I'm particularly interested in one near Dryden, VA, supposedly near a Screech Trail. Just want to take the temperature. I don't even know which landowner I should approach bc I don't actually know where the cemetery is. Does anyone have experience with this? And are people generally receptive to letting people visit these graveyards on private land? Thanks for your time.
