This stop was recommended by our Rock of Ages guide. Be sure to read the history and ask for information from your Rock of Ages guide. It is well worth the stop.

interesting to walk around and see the variety of headstones. My son also enjoyed looking at many of the veterans graves, some of who served as far back as the civil war

Hard to give 5 stars for a cemetery. This one is unique though. A number the monuments are art. Whether one of a kind forms and parting messages or sculptures, one over 100 years old, yet still exquisite craftsmanship. If you're interested in history, art, or one of a kind testimonials of those who have passed into eternity, you need to visit.

What a hoot! I've never made a pit-stop at a cemetery before but this one is unique. Apparently in a town of stone carvers with their own granite quarry, there is some pretty neat artwork in here! I heard about this one on the Atlas Obscura podcast if you want to learn more.
