Project Description

This very old cemetery (one grave states a birth date of 1779!) needs to be preserved as the elements have been doing a job on the gravestones. So far one half has been preserved and repaired and hopefully all will be done in 2020. I will also have volunteers from Town keep things going such as cleaning the stones. I hope that the Town will have an active cemetery/historical committee in the near future!

Dedicated to the Preservation of Maine's Neglected Cemeteries since 1968.
