My family and I were staying in Littleton for a couple of days while hopping around to different areas of northern New England, and I developed a nagging curiosity surrounding local signage for a close by "horse cemetery." After reading the cemetery's one other Yelp review from years ago, my dad and I decided to follow the sign and see it for ourselves. Since my brief visit to the understated roadside memorial, I find myself repeatedly thinking about it. The on-site plaque provides a little information surrounding the Wallaces and their horses, and after taking to the internet to read more about them, I've come to see their story as a profound demonstration of love, authenticity, and the complexities of navigating as a living being. I've researched further and found blog posts/articles written by people who have also had their lives momentarily touched by this place, and again, I see it as a small yet meaningful reflection of our innate connection to one another. If you have an appreciation for visiting the more strange, quiet corners of the universe, then I think your heart would benefit from spending a moment here. read more
