Bennington Street Cemetery

Sometimes you move into a new area & the first places you hit tend to be are places to eat & drink but once your belly gets full you get to see what really makes your neighborhood unique. I have walked by this place of rest many times on my way to the T & just never really gave a thought until I started to notice the beautiful turning of the leaves this fall. The gravestones looked very old & thin like the ones you see adoring the historic graves downtown. Then one day a few signs went up explaining when the gravesite was established & who had been laid to rest there. It fascinated me to imagine this place has stayed the same for almost two hundred years while this bustling city has grown up around it. Now it has lead me to seek out other places I may have overlooked & share with my friends & family.
