Did you know that there is a little abandoned cemetery right on the main street of Cobourg? I didn't either, at least until I happened to spot a small monument from the road. There are no signs noting that the cemetery is there, and no mention of the cemetery of it's people on this historical placque. The cemetery is located on the grounds of the very large, and very beautiful St Peter's Church, and the grounds are very well taken care of, but many of the stones seem to be disappearing into the ground.
