the old burying ground (★★★★★)

​

​

1752 is the date on the oldest stone

in Halifax’s first graveyard

now a national historic site

full of centuries worth of bones

notable remains:

the Loyalist Edward Winslow

New Brunswick Supreme Court judge

and descendant of Mayflower Pilgrim Edward Winslow

Major General Robert Ross

who burnt down the White House

in 1812

the Bulkeley monument of 1796

has carved into its respective end panels

Adam and Eve in the garden

and the Last Judgement Day

while looking up the burying ground online

I leave a Google review

photo of skeleton in a grave

“cold, cramped, dark, and I’ve been waiting for service for what feels like an eternity”

it gets six likes.
