Cedar Hill Cemetery

Cedar Hill Cemetery

Hartford, Connecticut

One of the most unique places in Hartford is the Cedar Hill Cemetery. It was established in 1864 and is the resting place for over 32,000 deceased individuals.  Hundred sof monuments are both colossal and magnificently beautiful.  Among the more prominent people buried there are Samuel Colt, John Pierpont Morgan, Thomas Gallaudet, Gilbert Heublein Gideon Wells, and Katharine Hepburn.  Most of the photos below were taken during a winter season.  The cemetery is even more impressive in the spring, summer and fall.

Located at 453 Fairfield Avenue (almost directly across the street from Goodwin Park) is worth a visit.

Bridgetown, Barbados

Bridgetown, Barbados

While cruising in the Caribbean one of our ports of call was Bridgetown, Barbados..  A church in Bridgetown is the Christ Church Parish which dates back to the mid 1600's.  On the grounds is a cemetery that includes a vault built by the Chase Family that was constructed around 1803.  Over the years members of the family were buried in the vault with it later being sealed.  A few years after ir was sealed Thomas Chase died the vault was unsealed.  It was found that all of the coffins had moved with some standing upright and others upside down.  See the website at http://mysteriousuniverse.org/2014/07/the-mysterious-moving-coffins-of-barbados/ for more specifics.  Here are some of my images of the church Chase vault.

Then it was on to the Sunbury House Plantation which also dates back to the 1660's and contains many of the furnishings of that era.  A very interesting stop.

The day in Bridgetown ended with a visit to Reggie Medford a world renowned mahogany wood carver.
