beverland Posted September 12, 2007 #1 Share Posted September 12, 2007 My sisters and I will be in Nassau in December and are interested in seeing house, church, cemetary, etc. of Anna Nicole Smith. I know some info was posted month's ago about a tour. Did anyone actually tour or take a cab to the locations? I would love some info or recommendations on what to do and if you toured with any particular person/company. We've been to Nassau several times and want to do something different this trip. Before you pass judgement on me and my sisters, please know we've also been to Graceland and visit our parent's & grandparent's gravesites, too. It's a "girl bonding thing", ok? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additionally, you can no longer get into the cemetery, only those with family members can pass. And the House is gated and set back a bit behind a fence and bushes. Not much to see. Visit the Government House (court) at Rawson Square and call it a day. It's free and right up the road. No judgement - just dont want you to feel ripped off.

sassafrass Posted September 13, 2007 #3 Share Posted September 13, 2007 HHmmm wonder why they started barrinng people that had no family at the cemetary? Do you think it was because they didn't want total strangers turning it into a tourist attraction? Nah, that sounds stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beverland Posted September 17, 2007 Author #4 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Thanks for the info Scubagirl. Do you know where the church is? To sassafrass - I have visited cemetaries in many of the islands. It is interesting to see the headstones. Many of them are quite ornate and beautiful. Lots of history can be found in the local cemetaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cemetary had become a media circus and the families of those who had family and friends resting there couldn't get near the place. The Bahamas is a very christian community, and locals were appauled at the lack of respect and irreverance given to their dear ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree with you! =) Walking around cemetaries, especially very old ones, is also an interest of mine. I learned so much about Galveston (TX) history by walking around an old cemetary.

I learned so much about Galveston (TX) history by walking around an old cemetary. this is not an old nor interesting cemetary. It's a big lot adjacent to the main road. I'm sure there are others with some history. BTW.. for those who are interested. The tour is $50pp from the cabbies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
