Pitcher Cemetery

Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood, this tiny, half-acre pioneer graveyard dates back to 1830 and holds the dark history of early frontier tragedies.

The move: Take a quiet daytime stroll to find the 'mystery grave' of Colonel Thomas Pitcher, and look for the uncarved 'pioneer' stones scattered throughout the grass.
