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.

Tour guide was local historian and Registrar of Deeds, Richard Howe, Jr.

70 people took this tour, and this was the last stop.  Because of the heat, some left early.
