Old Graveyard - Pelham, Massachusetts

Formerly part of Prescott, where some of Daniel Shays' men plotted rebellion in the years following the American Revolution.   The building is the Pelham Historical Society, once a Congregational church built in 1840, restored and serves as a museum, open in the summer months.

The old graveyard headstones stand sentinel during those sweet, balmy days when sunshine warms Pelham Hill...and on dark, chilly, Halloween nights.
