Entry for #aswcontest old cemetery

in #aswcontest7 years ago (edited)

Hello and thanks to @customnature for the #aswcontest

These photos are from a very old graveyard in North Andover, Massachusetts with some headstones dating back to the late 1600's. Several of the founders of the town are buried here. Interested fact; even more accused witches were put to death here than in nearby Salem. Check out Andover Witch Trials.

Do you happen to have the name of the cemetery? Going this weekend, but see there are a ton of cemeteries in Andover.

Hi @creepycrazylife,

I don't know the name, but I'll get you a pin drop for the exact location.

I just checked for your reply to see if you answered and I guess I picked the right one. I’m here now. Thanks so much. This place is beautiful. Just started shooting.

These are really cool photos @nomadsanonymous!
I didn't know about the Andover witch trials, will check
it out! I like these last two, the 2nd from the last looks
really ancient!

Yes it's a really cool graveyard with lots of history. The headstones are suprisingly intact for their age.
