Valley cemetery is actually a very beautiful place. Peaceful and serene, it offers a glimpse into Manchester's past. A drive or walk through will provide you a good few minutes of relaxing enjoyment.
This is a beautiful cemetery but plagued by neglect. Many of the headstones are damaged, some toppled. The tombs and mausoleums are near universally bricked up (mostly with cinder block walls) instead of retaining their original doors. The chapel is boarded upnnIt is home to at least one flick of wild turkeys, if not two. It is also refuge to some of the city's unsheltered, and their trash, is strewn about with abandon, though mostly off the paths.
Great place for a stroll, take a few pictures during the fall foliage. It really is a nice layout and historical in nature.
As far as local cemeteries around Manchester, Valley Street cemetery is one of my favorite. The size of the grounds (20 acres) as well as the variety of different styled monuments makes it an interesting place to walk or think about history . The cemetery has been around since 1840 so there is quite a variety of local people of note buried within the cast iron fenced area. I consider this cemetery to be more of a park these days for a reflective walk. This is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
Just saw 4 wild turkeys wandering thru the north end of the cemetery!
