The guest book in located at the entrance of the cemetery, you can not miss it. I don't know exactly the reason of this guest book but I found this on the web.
"One half acre of land was purchased from Mr. Donald MacLean to be used as the first burying ground for the Methodist Chapel. Thus, this cemetery was first known as the MacLean Cemetery at Dinning Bridge, and the earliest known burial was in 1822. It is one of the oldest Protestant cemeteries in the region and you will find some of the first American, English, Scottish & Irish immigrants resting there."
Maybe this cemetery is visited by the descendants of American, English, Scottish & Irish immigrants who are looking for their ancestors and this guest book is used to register their presence in the place.
Does anyone knows what it is about?
