A Visit to the Lowell Cemetery

On Friday, our class and the other fifth grade classes took a tour of the Lowell Cemetery.  We learned all about the monuments in the gardens over at the cemetery.  Mr. Richard Howe, the Register of Deeds for the City of Lowell, took time out of his busy schedule to teach all about the personal stories behind the monuments in the gardens and about the materials used to create the monuments.  We all appreciate the time that Mr. Howe took to get the tour ready for us and his willingness to work with us as we took our first walking field trip of the year.  All of the fifth graders that attended were very respectful and we appreciate that they could join us.  If you would like more information about what we saw, you can visit the Lowell Cemetery website at http://www.lowellcemetery.com/
