Calmes Tomb

This stone mausoleum was built in the family cemetery of the “Caneland” plantation by General Marquis Calmes, a friend of Lafayette during the American Revolution. Calmes, born in Virginia in 1755 of Huguenot ancestry, assisted in laying out Versailles and named it after the French city. He died in 1834, and he and his wife Priscilla Heale are buried here. The tomb was restored in July 1990.
