Centre Burial Ground

In 1783, Nehemiah Carpenter, Samuel Baker, and Jeremiah Hartshorn conveyed to the selectmen and their successors forever four acres of land on which the meeting house had been built for use as a town common. Carpenter also gave one hundred and eleven rods of land near the meeting house for a centre burial ground, and as the deed was signed he noted that the piece of land given by him for a burying place was for that, and that only. Several graves were later removed to Rock Hill Cemetery to provide space for the town's Civil War Memorial.
