Type of Site: Town cemetery, still in use
Condition: Everything looks well attended.
History and Notable Features: The cemetery has some lovely statuary. At the northern most area, there are a handful of stones from the 1700s. One stone from the mid 1800s has a unique carving of wings and an hourglass. Also of humorous note, there is a family plot with extremely large gates which are locked, however the gate around the plot itself is six inches tall.
