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

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.
