This box is part of Songchick's cemetary series, Whispers of the Past. It highlights interesting and historic cemetaries in the Binghamton area, as well as others around NY State.
Calvary Cemetary is located in Johnson City, NY. It's a cemetary with a lot of local history attached, and some of the most beautiful headstones of all the local cemetaries. I suggest taking some time just driving around and looking at them, they're really works of art in some cases.
Directions to Calvary Cemetary:
From 17W (86), take the Shopping Mall exit in between the two exits for Johnson City. Get over as far to the right as possible, and take a right at the light (there's a yeild lane you'll need to get into). Pass by the strip plaza, and Gander Mountain. The main gates of Calvary Cemetary will be on your left, across from Toys-R-Us.
Directions to Whispers of the Past - Calvary Cemetary Letterbox.
1. Head through the main gates towards the stone chapel. Bear right around the chapel.
2. Keep a lookout for SERGI, and turn right just past where he rests.
3. Continue on the path until you see a group of reposing "fathers". Pay your respects and take the left path.
4. Continue on the path. You'll know you're on the right track as you pass CONTI, then SKOKAUCKAS.
5. As you continue, the paths will all converge in one spot. Look for the path that is home to DUNDON and DOWNS. This is the path you need to take.
6. When you spot FAISTENHAMMER, take a right.
7. As you continue on, you'll pass the resting place of many. If you spy OTTAVANI on the right hand side, you're in the correct place. Continue on that path, past NEWMAN (pay special attention to this marker), and continue down the path until it comes to a T
8. At the T, take a right across an even wider path, and through a stone passageway.
9. Continue on the pathway, going in between a large stone statue and another large building for many to find rest.
10. Stay on this path until you can turn left to pass GABELLO
11. Take a right at ROMANCZUK and continue on this path past LOBVERO, GRASSO, AND IULIANI.
12. Can you see the Saint interceding on mankind's behalf? He's on your left, and you're almost there!
13. Continue on the path until you come to an aisle flanked by SCHIAPPO & ANNE MEADE, with KUZMA at the end of the aisle. If you're still in your car, this is a good place to park.
14. Walk down the aisle until you reach a marker that shares it's name with a well-known maker of paint and paint products. Stop here.
15. Walk North to the tree lined boundary. You should see a medium-sized rock at your feet, with a tree behind it, and two smaller trees back and to the right.
16. Stand in front of the rock, and look at the two smaller trees. You should see another tree framed by the smaller trees, back in the wooded area. Walk carefully to this tree, and Whispers of the Past will be resting at the base, covered by rocks. Take a moment to enjoy the peacefulness of the stream below before hiding it carefully for the next letterboxer to enjoy!
