Obscura Day is an Atlas Obscura tradition where the whole team takes a day off to explore—whether it’s a nearby hidden gem or a distant, wondrous site. Check out the places our team visited.

Louise Story, Atlas Obscura’s Chief Executive Officer

An experience of a place can be shaped by the company you’re in. I took my family’s new dog, Rusty, with me to this historic pet cemetery. I wanted to see what Rusty thought.. or if he even seemed aware of where we were. What I found was: so much love. Pet owners over the generations have memorialized their dogs, cats, and even monkeys and lions. The video here is a 35 minute livestream that I did on Meta. Viewers watching there were asking me questions. Follow me on Meta for future livestreams from Atlas Obscura places.

The Hartsdale Pet Cemetery was a touching place that I never would have gone had I not found it on Atlas Obscura.
