sleepy hollow cemetery印象

You can visit Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry David Thoreau, the entire Alcott family, and Ralph Waldo Emerson within a few footsteps of one another in a most serene and beautiful setting.

It's really cool to see where these literary greats and their family are buried. Take the time to see this really old and cool cemetery. And SEE author's ridge.

The cemetery is easy to find from Concord and the Artist's Ridge (with graves of Alcott, Thoreau, Emerson and Hawthorne) is well signed. This is a beautiful place, very serene and peaceful. It is worth the half hour to get there and visit the burial sites.

What's a peaceful and interesting place. So full of history and not creepy at all. I love cemeteries, but even if you don't, how could you go to Concord and not stop here!

As my family and I paid our respects to the authors, we found ourselves asking questions about them. Thanks to my smartphone, as we honored them, we learned about them - the new helping understand the old. The signs to the graves were clearly marked.

A lovely peaceful cemetery, with a real sense of history. Most of the well known residents are within a few feet of each other.

No headless horseman to contend with when we visited. Just spectacular with a surreal color palette of reds, yellows, and oranges from the leaves of the forested cemetery in full autumn glory. We toured by vehicle and wandered by foot along the narrow little roads that circumnavigate the place through low woodsy areas and steep hilly plots with commanding views of the surrounds and a serene little creek below.They were opening up a new section on the north end when we visited making me actually wonder about the cost of interment here. Living several states away and hopefully, several decades in time, that thought was quickly dismissed and I continued to enjoy the confluence of history, the magnificently done celebration of the dead for the living here, and the ridiculously beautiful grounds, statues and stones that adorn the hillsides.

The Sleepy Hollow Cemetery is a place where lovers of Concord's authors can pay their respects to Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Louisa May Alcott, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and others. Their graves are located together on Author's Ridge which is easy to find because one of the gates is clearly marked "Author's Gate".Author's Ridge is on a small hill at one end of the cemetery and is regularly visited by literature enthusiasts. Many leave stones on top of the graves; they leave notes; they leave mementos and pens and pencils in memory of these great authors. The reverence and care they take is moving. Take your time and enjoy the peaceful and calm atmosphere of this tranquil spot. You'll love it.

A family of writers, patriots, and well known figures can be found at Sleepy Hollow. People bring trinkets and stones and small gifts; like making a pilgrammage.
