Skippymjp's thread got me to thinking about graveyards and, since it is the season, I wondered if anyone else likes old graveyards or has a favorite. My favorite is one a block away from where I grew up. I used to ride my bike or take walks through it all the time when I was younger. The tombstones fascinated me and taught me a lot about the history of my town. It dates back to early to mid 1800's and there is even some that served in the Revolutionary war buried there.

If you click on the link to "vistin Rose Hill" you will see more of the old tombstones, along with a few of the crypts. There is also a musoleum there, but that is only open to family members.
It's actually very quiet (obviously) and peaceful. In the fall, it's common to see deer grazing around the grave markers. But, it IS kind of spooky at night!
