Abstract:

Concord’s First Presbyterian Church has a garden contained items not normally associated with such as place: tombstones. Because of this, Memorial Garden had more to offer to visitors than fragrant flora. It offered insights into the town’s history and stories of the town’s honored dead, with tombstone dates spanning between 1804-1999.
