I grew up in New England and there are many ancient cemeteries all over the place, witches' graves and all kinds of interesting monuments were everywhere. It was a pastime for my cohort of kids to go find and look over the dates and wonder about the people they represented. We would compare notes on a cool engraving or someone whose history is known or something. It was back about the time when color teevee was about to hit the scene. It was explore what was out in the woods or play games until we found ourselves at the shore where we'd go wading. Definitely another century.

Living in the western states I refer to that area as "antiqueland".
