The old cemetery in Florissant has residents back to the 1700s, but we didn't
come across ones quite that old.
This person just must have been very thin.
Some of the newer ones were pretty advanced in terms of cemetery technology.
Next stop was St. Ferdinand's Church in Florissant's Old Town, the oldest standing
church in the Louisiana Territory. When we were here a couple of weeks ago it
wasn't yet open for the day.
The interior has rooms with period furniture and items from the church's
history. The Chapel of Mother Rose Philippine Duschesne itself was built 1819.
The church itself is nice.
Ceiling art.
This is at the front of the church.
It contains a mannequin of St. Valentine, as well as relics of his from
270 AD. Jill is reflected.

One room is set up as a museum. Nun dolls.

There are various statues around the grounds.
Outside there is a sign explaining Florissant.
