Hike: About 10 minutes?
Terrain: Easy, small hills.
~No dogs, and be careful with bringing small children.
Head to Laurel Hill Cemetery in Fitchburg MA. The cemetery is open untill sunset. Enter the cemetery through the main entrance, the one more to the right. Head straight up the hill to what is the most top of the area. Stop and park your vehicle where you see a headstone that reads "Lippitt". Most cars cannot safely continue past this point.
You will also see what looks like ruins of a small synagog on your right. From here walk straight, around the small bend in the grass/dirt and downhill with the main road to your right. You will pass three sets of stairs, the third being right before a large bush/tree on your left, which has taken over a poor man's grave. Take this thrid set of steps up to the top(second of two pairs of steps). You will see a headstone which reads "Harwood", also you will catch sight of a great flag straight ahead. If you see all of this you will know you are in the right spot. Now take a peek underneath the top step on the right side. Carefully dig out the stones and you will find The Broken Dollar LB. Be gentle with the stones, they are fragile, also be sure to place them back very carefully, this is a very open and frequently visited area. Happy Boxing...
This is also the site where the famous Alvah Crocker is buiried is you care to adventure to find his gravesite...
