Spring Forest Cemtry Assn

as a local history buff, i love this place. this is the final resting ground for Josh Whitney, the man who built our town, along with many others like Daniel Dickinson, who was a Senator in the 1840s and 50s. This is also where Issac Perry is buried, the man who designed many local churches, the old inebriate asylum, and the new york state capitol building in albany. He also designed the gates for Spring Forest and his body was the first one to enter through them after he died. there’s the mass grave for the victims of the Clothing Factory fire of 1913, along with other graves for civil war veterans and firefighters. take a walk around here sometime, it’s a beautiful cemetery and if you bring your smart phone and google some of the names on the more interesting graves you can really learn a lot about our area.
