Mt. Hope Cemetery

By Melanie Brooks

I decided to take advantage of the gorgeous day on Saturday and head to Mt. Hope Cemetery for a couple of hours. This might sound weird but I love old cemeteries. It's interesting to read the names on the old gravestones and get a glimpse into someone's past. Some of the gravestones at Mt. Hope are so old they're weathered unreadable. Many are in various degrees of tilt.

Mt. Hope is one of the oldest garden cemeteries in the nation -- second to Mt. Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, Mass. For a short history lesson click here.

Below is a slideshow of some of my favorite shots.
