Sleepy Hollow Cemetery is in Concord, MA. It is so beautiful and has some very famous authors buried here. They are all buried on a hill ...it is called Author's corner. (Thoreau, Hawthorne, Alcott, Emerson, and Whitman) ahh I hope I didn't forget anyone.
I tried to get a picture of the cemetery from the top of Author's corner....it was such a pretty day. The cemetery is huge. I think one of the things I love about New England is all the old cemeteries. I hope that doesn't sound morbid but oh well. The large variety of head stones just appeals to the eye and gives a pleasant melancholy feeling. It reminds me of my British Literature tour in college. We would often visit the graves of the British Authors.

I took pictures of all the author's graves...but this one came out the best...the other ones were hard to read with all the shadows. This one is Nathaniel Hawthorne's. Another cool thing is they were all in their family lots so we were able to see their parents, wife, and children's graves also.
