It's on a main thoroughfare in Hyannis, among businesses, restaurants, apartments. Many of the gravestones are from the early 18th century, some have worn away to ancient rocks. Even in the sunlight, it gives off an eerie aura. Many of the graves are now anonymous due to the ravages of time and weather. It's been restored somewhat, it has a new sign. It could use some more upkeep. It looks forgotten, tho Hyannis' South Street is a main drag. It is a somber, sober place to remember those who have passed. A piece of history in busy downtown Hyannis.

Makes it a bit confusing but whatever you call it the ancient graveyard is definitely old. Really, really old. The type of place that is spooky as hell, not because of ghosts or any phantasmagoric imagery, but because this place literally looks old, smells old and most of all feels old. It was wet and foggy when we went and I can't imagine the sun every shining here. The late Oct weather made things even more morose but I suspect it's not exactly a cheery place even in may. Many of gravestones are very worn, just down to just nubs or covered in various forms of lichen. I did manage to make out some from the mid 1700s but just barely. The stones are mostly very soft sandstone and didn't hold up well to the brutal weather. In fact most of the people buried here didn't have any headstones or memorials at all. Simply buried in the cold dirt. A very cool and very old and simple graveyard that is a vivid reminder of how things use to be.
