点评:What a lovely, historic cemetery that I first heard about during the pandemic because they were doing virtual talks. We took there general trolley tour, one of many, with stops at some historic spots dating back to the American Revolution, and other stops at famous gravesites. We first were introduced to the story of the cemetery itself and its history. That started at the main entrance gate, a beautiful Gothic Archway, absolutely lovely, with the nests of Monk Parakeets in the gate towers. It's a fascinating story because they are not native birds, but were brought here and thrived. She also pointed out the Pollinator Meadow, a partnership with Cornell University. This is a truly a lovely cemetery to visit with all kinds of tours, death education, birding in the morning, and much more. We'll be back for another visit
翻译:疫情期间,我第一次听说这个墓园真是太美了,它的历史悠久,当时他们正在举办线上讲座。我们乘坐了那里的普通电车游览,这是众多游览方式中的一种,沿途停靠了一些可以追溯到美国独立战争时期的历史遗迹,也参观了一些著名的墓地。我们首先了解了墓园本身及其历史。故事从正门开始,那是一座美丽的哥特式拱门,美不胜收,门楼上筑着和尚鹦鹉的巢穴。这是一个引人入胜的故事,因为它们并非本土鸟类,而是被带到这里并繁衍生息的。她还推荐了与康奈尔大学合作的“传粉者草甸”(Pollinator Meadow)。这是一个非常值得参观的美丽墓园,提供各种游览项目、死亡教育、清晨观鸟等等。我们一定会再来的。
