Barre is the Granite Capital of the World. One of the interesting features of Vermont is its cemeteries. We've been fascinated by them. They're very old and, often, right in the middle of town. As you can imagine, they are filled with granite headstones, but none moreso than Hope Cemetery which is considered a tourist attraction. It is one of the showplaces for Rock of Ages. Enjoy some of what we found on our recent visit.
I hope you can enlarge these and see the details. They are truly amazing. The last is a very recent addition to the cemetery--the intended occupants are still living.
It certainly gives you pause to look through this huge cemetery and wonder if the rich weren't just trying to out sculpt their neighbors. This is Vermont.
