So, what are the headstones made from that they are still there and you can read them after 200+ years? Some of our newer granite stones don't seem to last 20 years.
Connecticut has a lot of sandstone headstones, and I think a few are of that, although sandstone isn't strong. Really, I don't know. Massachusetts has mostly granite and it lasts forever. Do I sound smart?
