I visited the Hinesburg Village Cemetery recently. And it did not disappoint! Today’s video is on the beautiful fountain I found. Typically, a fountain such as this in a cemetery suggests the cemetery’s style was a Victorian Lawn Park. As the name suggests, its purpose was to encourage people to visit the cemetery for the fresh air because cemeteries were often on the outskirts of towns. The visitors were further encouraged to spend time strolling the paths and to picnic on the grounds communing with their friends and family both living and dead.
