September 15, 2010 — One regret that I have for The New England Grimpendium is that I didn't include more cemeteries in it. New England is packed with interesting old cemeteries. I mean, I pass at least three just on my way to the grocery store. I would have loved to put more in the book, but the ghost tales and histories are mostly repetitive and there's only so many times I'm allowed to write the phrase "funerary sculpture" in one book. That's just the way it is with a place where 400-year-old cemeteries are a pretty common thing. Fortunately, Green Mount Cemetery in Montpelier, VT, made it in (although it's a scant 160 years old). There's not much I can say about this one that the pictures below don't say better.
