"Tread lightly. This is sacred ground."


A hidden abandoned cemetery located in Prince Edward County. Doing research I found the cemetery has a few names. The name listed on the cemetery gates was Simonds Pioneer Cemetery. It is also known as Simonds/Snider Burying Ground and Massassaga Cemetery. The cemetery is in poor condition; uneven ground, broken tombstones and foilage overgrowth to mention a few things. It is a sad sight but being there can only be described as beautiful. Take the time to explore the entire cemetery, there are some very interesting markers. The cemetery doesn't appear to have anyone buried in a long time there but interesting enough some locals buried some of their pets and put up wooden crosses.
