The Gentle Art of Cemetery Picnicking

Before they became places we hurry through with flowers, cemeteries were America's first public parks—designed for leisurely strolls, family gatherings, and yes, picnic lunches among the headstones. We explore the surprisingly social history of 'rural cemeteries' and the Victorian families who spent their Sundays wandering these carefully landscaped gardens of memory.
