Juneau's Historic Cemetery

This is what my walk looks like when I go to/leave from my high school office. There are lots of graves from people born in the 1800s, the most famous of which is the city's co-founding father and namesake, Joseph Juneau:


The other dude, Richard Harris I think, got the shaft because "Harrisburg" was already taken by Pennsylvania.

Did Harris at least get a monument or something? Sort of feel bad he got shafted on that. ;-)

harris has a grave that looks like juneau's on the exact opposite of the gravel walkway. the city was named after him first actually, but then they changed it to juneau because harris was being a butt (the short version of it).
