About:

Many, many cars drive by this ancient cemetery every day. But few of those drivers probably know what is here, because these grounds are hidden by its elevation.

This cemetery is overseen by Providence Friends Meeting, which is about a mile straight down the road.

During this visit it appears I found a local, just relaxing in this unusual little park (seen in the photos).
