Wildwood Cemetery

Moultrie Church In a vaguely abandoned cemetery in the south St. Augustine sits a picturesque church, which looks just like any other found in the rural South. The little white church was built in 1877 and overlooks Wildwood Cemetery, a lonely cemetery with a somewhat abandoned, neglected atmosphere.
