Cemeteries are a great way to get up close and personal with an area's local history. You can learn a lot about the families of the area, and even about religion, culture, lifestyles, and so much more.
Some cemeteries can shed light on certain tragedies, epidemics, or societal conditions that affected the town. Perhaps typhoid decimated the population, or maybe different nationalities were buried in different sections.
Spend a morning perusing a cemetery to appreciate the stories shared in both life and death.
