Plainfield, Connecticut: Lawton Mills - A Park for the Departed

In the south-west of Plainfield, deceased residents find a resting place at the Lawton Mills Historic District, more of a park for the dead.

The Lawton Mills Historic District, in Plainfield, Connecticut, is a unique graveyard dressed in 20th-century attire. It boasts an eerie uniformity and sinister society, where Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, and Craftsman-style mausoleums congregate like skeletal pals. Mature trees, civilization's cobwebs, twist through its slightly winding streets, transforming it into a park for the deceased. The Hartford Public Schools district caters to the living in the Lawton Mills Historic District, providing schools chosen by district officials and thematic educational paths towards eternal rest.
