Hi--Very interested in your site--I aim doing a paper on forgotten cemeteries for my Death and Dying Class, upon doing my research I have found that they are not forgotten. Thanks to wonderful people like yourself. For some reason I to take interest is cemeteries, I take my walks at the Hillside Cemetery in Torrington. It also seems like I tend to take time to walk different cemeteries when I am on vacation.

Hillside (Torrington) is beautiful (and large which means it's awesome for walks), but it's newer and very well known. For some local curiosities, I highly recommend taking a quick jaunt around Burrville Cemetery, Torringford Cemetery or South Cemetery in Harwinton, or if you're looking for a larger one for walking, Hillside Cemetery in Sharon is beautiful and contains a multitude of stones from the 1700s. Also, one burial site of particular forgotten-interest is the Hayden Tomb on Wildcat Hill Rd in Harwinton, although it's surrounded by sticker bushes and requires jeans and a sweatshirt and something to shield your eyes to venture within the gate.
