A brick mausoleum at the ruins of the old Presbyterian church is tied to the legend of Julia Legare, who was supposedly mistakenly declared dead and buried alive. Folklore says the tomb’s heavy door repeatedly opened or was moved despite attempts to secure it. The buried-alive story is legend rather than established fact, but the unusual tomb is real.
