I live about 2 and a half miles from the Fruitand Pioneer Seventh-day Adventist Church and Cemetery in Fruitland, WA, which turned 121 years old in 2017. I am working on getting the SDA Conference and the neighbors around here interested in preserving this historic site. Right now it is very much run down. I learned to love to visit cemeteries when I was a child. My great aunt would take me to visit her mother's grave ( my great-grandmother) and she would give me a math lesson with trying to figure out how old people were when they died as we walked around looking at the other gravestones. I have friends that help me traipse through the cemeteries today, especially the larger ones. I still love it.
