Geocache Description:

Located in downtown Halifax, this cache will have a high muggle factor, and parking can be problematic at best.

This was the first burial ground in Halifax, and between 1749 and 1844 some 12,000 people were interred here. It is said that only one in 10 graves is marked with a headstone. These gravestones are a wonderful example of 18th- and 19th-century gravestone art, especially winged heads and winged skulls. (No rubbings allowed.) There is also the Welsford-Parker Monument from 1855, which honors Nova Scotians who fought in the Crimean War. This statue near the grounds' entrance features a lion with a Medusa-like mane.
