A 35-acre Victorian rural cemetery on the wooded slope west of downtown, laid out in 1854 in the picturesque style fashionable at the time. The drives wind around the contour, and the older sections hold a remarkable concentration of Vermont granite carving — much of it the work of the Italian and Scottish stonecutters who built nearby Barre.
The most photographed grave is Margaret Pitkin's: a life-size white marble seated portrait of a young woman, carved in 1900, dressed for her wedding she never lived to attend. The cemetery is open to walkers and worth an hour for the carving alone.
