Deeded in 1789 to nine neighborhood residents for use as a burying place forever, the burying ground contains 290 burials (not all with markers). Numerous pre-1830 stones are still extant. In general, the stones are in upright condition and still legible. Surrounded by a stone fence and in a rural setting, the cemetery retains its historic appearance.
