Walking Tour – Memento Mori

October 14, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am

Please join us for a guided tour of Farmington’s Old Cemetery (Memento Mori) and learn about the town’s colonial history and early settlers.

In use as early as 1660, Farmington’s Old Cemetery on Main Street was the town’s boneyard and remained so until the end of the 19th century. Come learn about the cemetery’s history and development along with stories about some of its “residents” and a few tall tales – some spooky ones too! Parking is available at the Barney Library which is a short distance away from the Memento Mori Cemetery.
