Some Of The World’s Most Beautiful Monuments
By Dell Hill
It’s not often you hear that a cemetery is a tourist attraction. Except for the obvious - Arlington National and many of the Civil War cemeteries - most folks don’t ever give a thought to taking the kids for a day of “fun” in a cemetery.
Just One Of Thousands...
Well, perhaps you’ve read a reference or two to my hometown of Barre, Vermont. The city is most-famous for the incredible Barre Granite monuments created by some of the world’s finest sculptors. Many of those creations can be seen at Hope Cemetery, which has actually become a tourist attraction.
Rather that trying to write out a description; let’s watch this video, presented by NECN.
Several of my immediate family members - including my Mom - are buried in this beautiful cemetery. It has been suggested there’s even a spot for me there.
Those sculpures are really beautiful. But I just find touring cemeteries creepy. I think this is the result of me watching too many ghost films.
