Mission Brief
Once a battlefield in the Revolutionary War, this 6-acre historical cemetery was founded in 1829. It was eventually abandoned and became a home for creeping vines, ominous ravens, and cold gusts of wind. In recent years, though, volunteers restored the cemetery and uncovered remarkable graves, like that of Charles F. Durant, the first American to travel in a hot air balloon. If you're looking for a real taste of American history, this one's for you.
