“German immigrants started to settle in the area around 1740. They came with the idea to find a well established community. However they only found wilderness. A lot of them died during the harsh New England winters and by attacks of Native Americans, now buried here in the grounds. But with the time more and more German settlers came over and life became easier as the town grew. The oldes headstone is from 1797 and there are ca. 400 to 500 graves on the old part of the cemetery. The newer part of the cemetery is a little bit seperated from the older part and can be found behind the old part. The cemetery is open to the public from dawn till dusk.”
