    One of those unexpected little spots you find on a road trip…read more We were driving through the area and passed right by this old, small town cemetery until I bugged my husband to turn around. The property had some beautiful trees in full fall color, so I really wanted to take a couple of pics to capture the fall foliage at peak season at the very least, as well as check out some of the older headstones. We stopped for a few minutes and toured the property. It didn't have a big sign, just what appeared to be a hand-painted sign near the entrance. There was no office on site, nor anybody else around. It almost felt like a place that time had forgotten, only it hadn't. A few graves had flowers on them, others had flags (for veterans) and most of the graves, even the very old ones, seemed mostly well-maintained. It was eerie and beautiful, all at the same time, with the brightly-colored leaves falling and a slight mist on every surface. Most of the graves appeared to date back to the early 19th century. Most of the headstones had lost much of their engraving to time and were illegible by now, their contents erased by age, while a few others, mostly from the later 19th century and turn of the twentieth century, seemed more intact, but still pretty hard to read. Several graves appeared to be veterans of the Civil War or World War I, their markers punctuated by additional military adornment placed next to their headstone area. A few others were easier to read, but several of the headstones and sculptures contained writing in such a fancy script that it was hard to decipher every word. The oldest ones, erected two hundred years ago, some earlier, still had a haunting beauty to them, but any writing was long-erased by the elements, leaving us to wonder who these people were and what secrets might have been buried with them. Here and there were a few larger structures, probably vaults for prominent families and the like, as well as some artful sculptures of cherubs, angels, crosses and the like. While some of the headstones were illegible, at least none of the graves or sculptures appeared damaged by vandals or anything like that. Most seemed pretty intact and were otherwise only marred by time itself, not human interference/desecration. We visited the week before Halloween, so it was sort of the perfect time of the year to go wandering around through a quiet country graveyard. PS it was dead quiet, so...
