Places I want to visit

Reading other cemetery blogs lets me learn about other cemeteries I want to visit someday. Here are a few, with links to the posts that sparked my interest.

Burial Hill – Plymouth, Massachusetts – Cemetery overlooking Plymouth Harbor dating back to the passengers from the Mayflower.

Bellefontaine Cemetery – St. Louis, Missouri – Bellefontaine is the final resting place of many prominent Americans, including suffragist Phoebe Couzins, the Busch brewing family, explorer William Clark (of Lewis and Clark fame), and Civil War General Don Carlos Buell. My great great grandfather William H. Ilsley is supposed to be buried there. Bellefontaine is adjacent to Roman Catholic Calvary Cemetery, whose famous residents include author Kate Chopin, Dred Scott (Supreme Court case Dred Scott v. Sandford), playwright Tennessee Williams, and Civil War General William Tecumseh Sherman.
