A Bit of History



My granddaughter #2's first grade class had a field trip to our town.

One stop of many was at our house.


Another stop was on the green and at the Meeting House.




There was also mention of the native peoples who once lived in this area.




In the description of the Meeting House was mention of where it once stood. In reading that Dan and I realized that where we thought it was once, was not correct. So we went looking for the cemetery that didn't move when the church did.


We found it in the woods on the side of a hill.


All cemeteries are cared for by the town but looks like this one could use a bit more care.



At least the Boy Scouts have marked the veterans graves.  This one was likely in the Revolutionary War.


Time has taken a toll on these gravestones.
