The Old Burying Ground Cemetery is within Hancock County and there are approximately 172 interments.
Both designed and built by Thomas Lord, a craftsman and designer of Blue Hill, Maine, Ellsworth First Congregational Church was dedicated in 1846, the second church to have been built by the Ellsworth Congregationalists, who organized in 1812.
To the rear of the church is The Old Burial Ground, most likely one of the oldest cemeteries in the area. The first interments were in the early 1800s with the last known burial in 1878, that of Rufus Buck. There is a walkway leading into the cemetery and it is well maintained. Most of the headstones are still legible.
