Brown Pet Cemetery

Back in a woody glen, behind the John Glenn International Airport, lives a pet cemetery that’s entrance is marked by a mere rock, engraved with “Brown Pet Cemetery.” You truly could blink and miss this serene, memorial area for our furry friends. From the limited I formation accesible, a local veterinarian, Walter Brown, founded the cemetery around 1934. As you stroll through the tiny plots and headstones, the love that people had for their pets is obvious in many ways; from DIY markers, sweet wishes engraved and gifts left graveside from flowers to a bottle of beer. The earliest year of passing is from the 1920s and the most recent is from 1997. Pets have a special place in our hearts, and in Columbus, an actual place to remember their short and sweet time in our lives.
