Where to See a White Bronze Tombstone With Possible Ties to Prohibition and a Second-Hand Headstone

The Episcopal Cemetery is cool and quirky.

The Episcopal Cemetery lies directly behind Christ Episcopal Church on Amity Road in Bethany, and when we say "directly," we mean it in the literal sense. Some of the gravestones are smack up against the back of the church, much the way it is done in European churchyards. The cemetery started in 1810 with the arrival of the church.

There are a many "curiosities" to be found in this old graveyard - read the captions beneath the pictures to see just a few of them, then go for a visit and find some of your own.
