Lot and Drake’s Corner is located at the intersection of North Street and Taconic Road in Greenwich. The family cemetery here is the smallest of the three under our care. A fieldstone wall surrounds it and an iron gate marks the entrance. All of the gravestones are carved from white marble and face south. The ground is covered with a carpet of myrtle plants that bloom every spring.
