This weekend is the time to pay a visit to the gravestone of William Brewster at Mount Auburn. He's not far from the entrance to the Dell, and I imagine is on the guide maps (I don't have one at hand). It's a fairly small natural boulder with one face polished at a slant (as I remember). I don't have a photo but used to have a rubbing once upon a time. The inscription is for today.

Unfortunately, I was in Connecticut this weekend and didn't get a chance to check it out. Maybe I'll get over there later this spring and save photos for next year.
