\nNew London, ConnecticutIt’s hard to find any information on what is commonly known as the “Ancientest\u00a0Cemetery” in New London, Connecticut, which is surprising to me\u00a0since it is such a jewel of 17th and 18th century gravestone carving.\u00a0It’s probably for the best, actually, since these stones are irreplaceable\u00a0jewels that are best left undisturbed. (And in fact, sadly, some of\u00a0them have been damaged already.) However, I can tell you a few things\u00a0about this special little graveyard:<\/div>\n
