点评:The final resting place of Daniel Boone, our road trip brought us to this cemetery. Lots of notable people buried within, and we found a few.
Daniel Boone‘s grave is probably the best one in the cemetery by far. We were led by plaques to the area where his memorial is. A chain pathway leads you down to his sculpture that bears he and his wife’s name. It overlooks the city of Frankfurt and the river. A beautiful view! Different scenes have been carved on all four sides of the sculpture, and lots of greenery has been planted in the shady area around it. It is a very serene place….
Just across the way, was the grave of Paul Sawyier, a local Kentucky artist who has made some absolutely lovely works of landscape art with oil on canvas.
One of the most impressive areas we saw was the Kentucky Memorial for the Unborn. A sculpture of a mother alongside a wall of names of those they were born into heaven. Along the backside was the Kentucky Memorial rock Garden. Anybody is allowed to take an unpainted rock and turn it into something beautiful to bring back to the rock garden to display. there were so many wonderful painted rocks.
We also saw some amazing veteran memorials. A lot of them were larger than life, which each of these soldiers deserved.
I would definitely recommend a stop here to check out these graves and maybe find some others!

翻译:丹尼尔·布恩的长眠之地,我们的公路之旅将我们带到了这座墓地。这里埋葬着许多名人,我们也找到了其中几位。
丹尼尔·布恩的墓可能是墓地里迄今为止最好的墓地。我们沿着牌匾走到他的纪念碑旁。一条环状小路将我们引向他的雕塑,雕塑上刻着他和他妻子的名字。雕塑俯瞰着法兰克福市和法兰克福河。景色美极了!雕塑的四面都雕刻着不同的场景,周围的阴凉处种植了大量绿植。这是一个非常宁静的地方……
就在路对面,是保罗·索耶尔的墓地,他是肯塔基州的一位当地艺术家,创作了一些非常精美的布面油画风景画。
我们看到的最令人印象深刻的地方之一是肯塔基州未出生者纪念碑。一座母亲的雕塑,旁边是一面墙,上面写满了他们出生在天堂的孩子们的名字。沿着后院是肯塔基州纪念岩石花园。任何人都可以把未上漆的石头改造成美丽的艺术品带回岩石花园展出。那里有很多精美的彩绘石头。
我们还看到了一些令人惊叹的老兵纪念碑。其中很多都比真人还大,这是每位士兵应得的。
我绝对推荐大家来这里看看这些坟墓,或许还能找到其他的!
