Silent Hill Cemetery — Local services in Freeport

I just visited Silent Hill Cemetery while touring on my bicycle. It's located just outside the tiny community of McConnell, IL. McConnell is almost a graveyard itself: there's one church and one tavern, but all the other business are closed and even the local museum is only open one day a month. In more prosperous days, the railroad went through McConnell, but the tracks were pulled up during the early 1940s when steel was needed for WWII. The road to Silent Hill is gravel and ascends a long hill. You get a nice view of McConnell and the little valley it sits in. Most of the headstones are old, going back to the 1800s. When I'm touring, I sometimes camp in rural cemeteries like this because they usually have water and are peaceful and beautiful, but I that day I had other plans. Maybe I'll come back to Silent Hill ....
