Geocache Description:


A cemetery on the National Register of Historic Places that includes Veterans of the French and Indian War, the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. I'm always amazed at some of the craftsmanship, art and the stories associated with the names of those buried in a historic place like this.

The stones are arranged north and south with the bodies facing east so on the day of judgement the resurrected would arise towards the dawn. Winged angels represented ascension of the soul to Heaven, weeping willows represented sorrow, a broken tree was a life cut short and an urn the soul. 

A microcache is placed at the rear of a this burying ground. 

Please note! Cemeteries are off limits at night: "A person is guilty of criminal trespassing if that person enters or remains in a cemetery or burial ground at any time between 1/2 hour after sunset and 1/2 hour before sunrise the following day, unless that person enters or remains during hours in which visitors are permitted to enter or remain by municipal ordinance or, in the case of a privately owned and operated cemetery, by posting.
