Inscription.
Nature defined this sculpted stance of Rev. George Duffield. He cannot be magically turned around! So, we invite you …during open hours, to come into the graveyard.

Along the way, text panels enlighten you about this patriot-hero and the Rev. War soldiers he is preaching to.

Take several snaps of and selfies with the "patriot pastor" who inspired members of Continental Congress during contentious times.

(John Adams would approve)
