On this weeks spooky episode of Small Plots, I venture to a well-known local cemetery in search for the graves of Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass, as well as a few other local Rochester legends. Join me for some fun, spooky times!

Had many overnight mushroom trips at Mt Hope when I was a UofR student 👍🏻. The civil war section is worth a walk through.

hey thanks man! I actually got a major fact here wrong (Rochester became a city in 1834, not 1838) but I try haha.

I lived in Rochester for almost 20 years. This one one of my favorite place to go for a walk, especially in the fall. So peaceful so many interesting nooks. Nice tour. Brought back some great walks.

Thank you for a very interesting video. I always enjoy videos exploring old cemetery. They teach us a lot about urban cemetery design, theology, how we view death, history of the times and that our lives today in most cases outside of our technologies are basically the same.

The monument damage is likely the cause of trees falling on them and not vandalism. If no family survive to fix the monument, NY State law puts the ownership in the hands of the cemetery who don't have the funds to fix the damage.
