Uncle Sam's Grave

 Last weekend we went to Oakwood Cemetery in Troy NY to do research for Halloween part props, and found many super old gravestones.

 Did I mention that the Oakwood Cemetery is the resting place of the man that the character Uncle Sam was based on?

 Samuel Wilson, the inspiration for Uncle Sam was a meat packer from Troy NY.

 Oakwood Cemetery also has an incredible view...

...and an amazing groundskeeper's office. I wish I could live in this building, it's so beautiful. On the other side of this building you can see the same view as above, a great spot to watch sunsets.
