Pachaug Cemetery

Ancient
and
peaceful
The Pachaug Cemetery is an old graveyard that sort of rambles through several acres. Lots of ancient trees and large shrubbery, the entire cemetery is surrounded by a lovely stone wall. A very old and worn looking gate welcomes visitors into the graveyard.
Most of the graves date from the 19^th century but there are some newer ones and also a couple of older and worn sections that have graves from well into the 18^th century. Many of the older ones are very difficult to read and obviously have seen a lot of wind, ice and snow over the centuries.
Many of the memorials are fairly basic and simple but there are some modest obelisks, mostly from the mid 19^th century as well as some more massive and elaborate stones.
A cool old graveyard that has a nice variety of different shapes and styles of stones. A lovely place that even the most discriminating departed must feel at peace in.
