About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

This cemetery is located to the east of the town center on Highland St. It is on the North side of the road about 1 mile from the town center. The Old Meeting House road comes up from the south onto Highland Street and almost runs directly into the cemetery. The oldest tombstone dates around 1735. Many stones are standing and in good repair. Going east from the town center you will pass Hillside Cemetery on the south side of the road a short distance before you reach the Old Burying Grounds.
