Life From The Roots: Tombstone Tuesday -- Tour of Lowell Cemetery, Lowell, Massachussetts

The Life From The Roots blog topics have changed several times since I began this blog in 2009. I initially wrote only about the family history I had been working on for 20 years. Years later, I was into visiting gardens, historical homes, churches, libraries that had genealogical collections, historical societies, war memorials, and travel/tourism places. I also enjoy posting autographs and photos of famous people I've met or have seen.

Along with my New England roots, other areas include New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, and the Eastern Townships of Quebec, Canada.

Please check out the labels on the right side for topics (please note, they need work). Below the labels and pageviews is a listing of my top nine posts, according to Google. Four of them pertain to Lowell, MA. These posts change often because they are based on what people are reading.

Tombstone Tuesday -- Tour of Lowell Cemetery, Lowell, Massachussetts

On a lovely Friday afternoon, summerlike for May, I finally took a tour of the Lowell Cemetery (in Massachusetts). Recently, I had bee visiting it for four weeks in a row, mainly to capture images of the flowering trees and flowers, and taking a few cemetery stones. "The Lowell Cemetery was modeled after Mt. Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, which was organized a few years earlier as the first garden cemetery in America." Since I blogged about Mt. Auburn Cemetery recently, I thought some might be interested in this private and stunningly beautiful cemetery.
