There is a law in Alabama that those with relatives in a cemetery can not be prohibited by a landowner from having access to that cemetery. She should check this law out.

The main cemetery has family graves and has been cleaned up to a large degree. From the pictures I've seen, there is still tombstone damage and obviously it would require an expert with the right equipment to remedy that. There is a second part to the cemetery where slaves, household help, and probably poor neighbors are...

i was told one of the volunteers that was there ask the man doing the lawn to make sure that the cemetery was clean. and could he keep it this way that she was not going to be a volunteer anymore and the DIRECTOR did not care if it was clean or not.the only time it got cleaned up was at holloween.

I agree the household workers, if any were buried there should be given the same concern as the known cemetery. I’ve tramped over a lot of the property with others and the question still is: where are the other burial cites? I assure you no one knows at this time. I’ve been led on more than one wild goose chase by those who know where the cemetery is located. We have been promised help by reliable experts to aid in the reassembly of the known tombstones but the expense of coming here seems...

Sweetwater plantation is private property but the owner have to give access to any one who have a reason to be there at the cemetery. Most of them tomb marker was set in the 1830s, 1840s without the experts who want money to do what was done with just man power and they can be reset with just man power. ( But what do I know )

I used to volunteer there and the director and I started a conversation about the cemetery. She proceeded to tell me that Brahan was a vampire and he was buried in an iron vault so that he would not be able to escape it. This woman is nuts. I arrived there one day to volunteer and she said that she just got off of the phone with the owner and she (the owner) had just talked to the vampire diaries (which is a TV show) and had found out that Brahan was a descendant of Bram Stoker. If she had...

You're totally right. It's sad when you have to tell lies about the place to gather people's interest. Why not just tell the truth about the history of the place? That's interesting enough.

From what I have heard it might as well be a three ring circus. You know it's really sad. There were volunteers there that really worked hard to clean up the place and the director has ran all of them off with her crazy actions. Everything I ever heard come out of her mouth was about how much money she could make or some off the wall crazy talk about her psychic abilities or who was buried in the basement, etc........... Lies all lies.

Well, they're still looking for Jimmy Hoffa... The point is what many of us have been saying for two years. The old home needs someone with money who cares about history and has an IQ over their hip size...okay, thigh size...to run the show. All who have volunteered and maintained how wonderful everything was are now recanting. This has been a hard lesson for some of the younger volunteers to learn, but if you start out with a director and 14 committee members and wind up in less than a year...

True. Heaven forbid you make any kind of comment on their facebook page that they might consider negative. They will jump you like a pack of wolves. Especially the blonde one that was taking up money at first Fridays and looks like she lays in the tanning bed all day. Speaking of wolves, maybe they are the werewolves. Hmmmmmmm..........

Sassy, any of us who ever questioned anything about the so-called renovation were immediately removed from the friends list. Now the Facebook page is private. How many such pages do you know of that use that setting? So...most of us have no idea what the media director says unless it's attached to one of her graphics that are open to view. I have no idea what the director wanted the cemetery to be officially named, but if she had a preference, she should have registered it. Apparently the...

I turned in my volunteer card when the director's stories never added up. All of her bragging about being Elvis' daughter and Mac Davis' lover and werewolves and vampires was bad enough but when she started saying another person in town had surveillance equipment installed to spy on her, I knew she wasn't playing with a full deck. The city aught to investigate that bunch for fraud. Nothing ever got done like they promised. Then they accused two other volunteers of stealing money when the one...

That is a good article. They have some great pictures of Buffler on their facebook page. I wish this would happen at sweetwater but I fear it never will. I'm no psychic but I don't see much at all happening in the future at sweetwater. It's definately in the wrong hands.

This is the latest: the two nice ladies who are on a tear to trespass onto the Sweetwater property it seems have enlisted some Bubba from East Florence to restore the cemetery tombstones. His expertise is based on car-motor-pullin’. He throws a rope over a tree limb, ties one end to the car motor and the other end of the rope to the back of a 4-wheeler. Upon the command “take-er-easy now” the 4-wheeler pulls forward and up out of the car comes the motor. The reverse of this is used to...

Is this the same "Bubba" that is doing the renovations at sweetwater? Wait a minute what renovations??? All that goes on there is sitting on the porch meditating, basking in the serenity of the surroundings and smoking a big fat doobie.
