OLD PLAINFIELD CEMETERY

Founded in 1711

“Whatever boundaries, if any, to the common burying ground were set up in 1711, were frail and perishable, and would sooner or later disappear and be lost. It seemed to be taken for granted by the townspeople that everybody knew and would always know where the burying ground was, and what were its boundaries, and that was enough.”

– Professor William Kinne
