Stonemasons' Cemetery
Barre, Vermont

Some years ago, the editorial team made a pilgrimage to this town, which is home to several quarries --and, as a result, several stonemasons. The cemetery in the town is filled with fantastical gravestones the masons carve for themselves. They feature everything from gondolas (many of the carvers are of Italian heritage) to sofas to sportscars. Here are just two examples of their wonderful artistry.
