It’s so interesting. It was really cool to see how old it was. If you are wondering, there aren’t witches that were hung buried here, they were put in a pit in the gallows. I saw gravestones from way back in 1680!!

What a cool experience. Got to walk along the path, and see some very old tombstones 15 and 1600s. It's amazing how well some of these stones have held up and how some haven't. Definitely an interesting place to visit. If you're in the area.

Busiest cemetery I’ve ever been to. You’re not allowed to stray off the path because of how many people were there.

The ghost tours are amazing! Enough to give you the chills to be exact! Loved the vibe and the interesting facts about it. Tried to see if I could catch any spirits around, but I don’t think that happened. They did some new path renovation inside too bad it’s closed at night.

You can walk in on your own as long as you go in at the hours the graveyard is open for.

Don't think you can metal detect there and I know for sure you cannot go in at night. The cemetery is gated and locked up at night.

It was open. I didn't see any construction in the actual cemetery only in the house next to it.

The stones look so fragile, does anyone know if they permit gravestone rubbings?

Shelly Burke | Sep 6, 2019
Owen rourke-nicholas | Sep 6, 2019

Unfortunately they do not, precisely because they are so fragile. Pictures are fine though!

Is there a map to help you find certain tombstones?
