ye olde burying ground, dated 1690

Wow that’s still legible. Did someone update it or is that the original?

Looks almost brand new, don't it? Most tombstones that old are pretty weather worn.

There’s a family one nearby, and the gravestones go back as far as 250 years ago. Almost illegible, some actually are, and some you can still make out what they scribed. Definitely looks updated. Love old gravestones, not sure why, but they are fascinating.

I believe they are original, but could be wrong, the grounds have revolutionary war soldiers so id imagine its been well maintained

I like the skull's head with wings image at the center top
its called a winged skull or deaths head, its an old new england image from puritan era representing the soul escaping the mortal body
