Joseph Barratt's Grave

Middletown, CT

Physician and amateur naturalist Joseph Barratt chose a fittingly strange monument: his grave incorporates casts connected with Connecticut dinosaur tracks and fossil plant material. It is an eccentric intersection of nineteenth-century science and funerary art.

Filed under museums: small, specific collections run by people who care far too much.
