The Old Settler Cemetery in Warren is one of the oldest cemeteries in Maine. It is about one mile west on Route 1 from the iron bridge at the Thomaston-Warren line. Take Old Settlers Road (formerly Woods Road) to the east (right). The cemetery is on the left about .4 mile from Route 1 before reaching the river. Unless improvements on the Old Settlers Road have been made, it is better to park and walk.

This was the first cemetery in this area and was on property originally laid out by Waldo as the Meeting House Lot. The First Presbyterian Church was located between the cemetery and the river. Evidently there are dozens of graves unmarked, marked with fieldstones or with stones missing. Probably used from 1736 until the town cemetery was started about 1792.
