A really unique destination for anyone interested in local history and a little bit of world history as well.nnThe Hope cemetery features one of the few memorials to the 1918 pandemic (an event that has gained more currency in 2020). The memorial was unveiled in 1918, a few months before the pandemic hit Barre proper, resulting in hundreds of deaths.nnLocally, all the headstones are made of granite--a requirement since 1945--and many were carved by Italian craftsman recruited to work at the local Barre granite quarry, who were able to create their own elaborate headstone.nnLook for the Thomas headstone across from the memorial. Four children in this family died in the November 3-4 1927 flood, the most deadly in Vermont's history. Over 1,200 bridges were destroyed and 84 people died. To get an idea of how severe the floods were, see the high water mark in front of the state house in Montpelier (photo attached).

Wonderful experience! Beautiful gravestones with astonishing details. Also several beautiful epitaphs and tributes. Definitely worth spending the afternoon, or even just driving through for a quick look. Highly recommend it!
