This nature trail is located a few miles away from my house.  When the weather is just right, I like to go down there and walk along the path and just enjoy the peace and beauty of nature.

What many people do not know, even those who visit the park on a daily basis, is that if you take a step off the nature trail and follow an overgrown path through the trees, you can find a historic cemetery that has sat in the park since the town was founded in the 1850s.

It’s rare that I visit the nature trail without also visiting the cemetery.  It’s a reminder of the people who were here before me and who lived on this land before it became a park where people jog, ride their bicycles, and look at their phones when they should be looking at the world around them.
