grove street cemetery印象
-
This is a charming little cemetery in New Haven. It has a surprising amount of famous people buried there, and it is beautiful place for a stroll.
-
We went on a weekend morning very interesting lots of history and interesting facts we were unaware of.
-
This was a stop on the New Haven Ghost Walk. Lots of history here. Visited at night. My pictures picked up lots of orbs.
-
Lovely place for a walk while as the leaves change colors. Be sure to stop at the little center at the front of the cemetery to get a map and learn a bit about who's buried there. Beautiful cemetery.

This cemetery is walkable but jammed, from the markers originally from the old Center Church burial yard to recent monuments for Yale luminaries and prize winners. You don't have to be a genealogist to enjoy and learn these stones.

The volunteer guide gave us a free tour. She was a retired history teacher who gave us the whole history of the founding of New Haven as well as the history of the cemetery and cemetery traditions.

This is a beautiful old cemetery with graves of the famous and near famous. My personal is favorite is a stone for Phyllis Brown Sandine, marked with the words "What a Woman!"
-
For a pleasant and contemplative walk, alone or with a companion, leave the hustle of New Haven's streets and take a walk around this beautiful cemetery. In all seasons of the year, the cemetery is an oasis of calm, and you might find yourself in front of a tomb stone of a historic figure, a scientific legend, a Yale President, or a member of New Haven's founding families.

Although it's not quite up to the beauty of some other NE cemeteries, Grove Cemetery has numerous interesting gravestones, many from the 1600s.

Make sure you stroll thru the Grove Street Cemetery while walking around New Haven. It's embedded right in the middle of the Yale University Campus area and contains a lot of old graves. Stop in the office for a map to the "famous" people buried there. The only famous person I knew was Eli Whitney - inventor of the cotton gin....the others were more locally famous (statemen, musicians, etc).Worth the time to wander thru for a half hour.
