Mountain Grove Garden Cemetery Tour

We'll tour the cemetery for several hours while making a point to see the burial sites of famous individuals such as PT Barnum and Tom Thumb. Afterwards, those who are interested, are invited to join me for lunch at a nearby restaurant to be determined by the group. Cloudy weather or light rain will not cancel this trip. The rain date will be Sunday, 07APR. I will contact all participants 48 hours in advance to confirm the date, and will provide my cell phone number at that time. One of New England’s most scenic cemeteries, Mountain Grove is beautifully landscaped with floral and shrubbery displays, ornamental trees and picturesque lily pond that bring new beauty with each season. Closely associated with Connecticut families who have lived in Fairfield County, it is the final resting place of P.T. Barnum, Charles Stratton (Tom Thumb), Fanny Crosby, the blind hymn singer, Daniel Nash Morgan, former Treasurer of the United States, and over 40,000 people of all faiths and from all walks of life.
