Run #5 - Back Up Jelliff Mill

Wanting to add some semblance of a long run into the schedule I ventured back out to the southwest corner to check off East Cross Rd which I missed a few days earlier. This meant a trip back up Jelliff Mill. Despite the hills I was hoping to push the pace but the stomach had other plans.

Streets; Adams Ln, Davenport Ridge Rd, Driftway Ln, East Cross Rd, Hillcrest Rd, Sagamore Tr, Spring Water Ln and Thurton Dr.

 

Location: New Canaan, CT 06840, USA

Run #6 - 13 Streets and the Parade Hill Cemetery

Labor Day was a hot one! With the intention of heading north and doing around 6 to 7 miles I didn't think I'd check off as many streets but a few small dead ends popped up. The heat proved to be challenging in the end. Stumbling upon the Parade Hill cemetery was interesting. No entrance or signage, just some old weather worn grave stones bearing the names of Historic New Canaan families. Streets; Cherry St, Forest St, Hampton Ln, Hillside Av, Husted Ln, Locust Ave, Maple St, Oak St, Parade Hill Ln, Parade Hill Rd, Riverbank Ct, Rural Dr and Siwanoy Ln

Cemeteries of New Canaan, CT

A quick google search reveals 24 named cemeteries in the town of New Canaan.

Turns out this small graveyard is the Parade Hill Cemetery and holds the remains of some well known historical New Canaan area residents. There was no sign or clear entrance and from afar the grave stones looked weather-worn and unreadable. There are 124 listed memorials at the Parade Hill Cemetery with family names you'd recognize when driving through New Canaan. Talmadge, Davenport and Lockwood to name a few. All named streets in town.
