One of the oldest cemeteries in the state. Historic graves including: a ship's captain with a cannon from his ship atop his marker; a girl buried in a rum keg; a soldier buried standing up facing his homeland of England, and many odd and beautiful markers.
Located in a quaint little town recently voted as the coolest small town in America.
