Greenmount Cemetery, Colchester Ave., contains the graves of Ethan Allen and many Revolutionary War soldiers, as well as many early residents of the town. Over Ethan Allen's grave rises a Tuscan shaft, 42 feet in height, topped by a spirited eight-foot statue of Allen, modeled by Peter Stephenson and cut in Carrara, Italy. The hero is represented as demanding the surrender of Fort Ticonderoga. The monument, unveiled July 4, 1873, is surrounded by a paling of muskets between posts of cannon.

The sign looks to be relatively new. There are probably a few more graves.
