On July 4th, I took Tyler to a unique cemetery. We love cemetery's so this is not unusual
but what did make it different is we would NEVER see this in our home state.
300 stones set out equal distance in a cemetery layout I have never encountered before.
Kind of like a Circle with parallel chords intersecting as road ways.
Rusty, old and no longer usable.
The wonderful poison ivy we encountered EVERYWHERE we went.
And I thought we had the corner on poison ivy in our orchards.
Tyler - my woodsman in the making.
AKA The Riparian is getting the handle on letterboxing.
He gets VERY excited when we stop at a cemetery to plant or to find.
We had a big laugh at this sign. Under notice -
no out of season artificial flowers - so does that mean you can put in season artificial flowers there?
On the Nation Register of Historic Places.
Pewee Valley Confederate Cemetery
Pewee Valley Confederate Cemetery is the site of the old Kentucky Confederate Home. The cemetery is not only on the National Register of Historic Places, but an individual monument within it, the Confederate Memorial in Pewee Valley, is separately on it as part of the Civil War Monuments of Kentucky MPS. It is the only cemetery for Confederate veterans, 313 in total, that is an official state burying ground in Kentucky (taken from Wikipedia --which has a lot more if you're interested.
We had a difficult time finding a good place for this letterbox. Well groomed cemetery and way to much poison ivy we kept looking and finally found a place suitable. The only thing I came away with was a tick ---- got to love the summer.
