In Front of the Isabella Steward Gardner Monument
Eighteen members of the hiking/walking group toured the Mt. Auburn cemetery. Our docent, Nancy Callan, provided a great deal of information about the symbolism of the tombstones and the history of the cemetery—a National Historic site. She also provided detail about the lives of many of the people buried in the cemetery including among others Longfellow, Dorothea Dix, and Isabel Stewart Gardner. Trees and flowers were magnificent and we think anyone would enjoy a walk around the cemetery with or without a guide.
After the tour, nine of us enjoyed lunch at Greg's Restaurant adjacent to the cemetery. The picture includes those on the tour in front of the Isabel Stewart Garner monument.
