Mt. Hope in Bangor, Maine

It was a gorgeous fall day this past Columbus Day Weekend when Susie and I took a stroll through Mt. Hope Cemetery in Bangor, Maine. They claim to be the second oldest pastoral cemetery in the United States, after Mt. Auburn in Cambridge. We couldn't find Hannibal Hamlin -- the office is close don Saturday so we had to wander without a map. But it was a grand day to be out strolling through a large bit of New England history.
