Greenwich Cemetery
There is a strong sense of history here.
Predating the American Revolution, The Greenwich Cemetery serves as the final resting place for people from all walks of life. Not associated with any specific church, denomination, or religion, the cemetery accepts peoples from all religions, beliefs, and backgrounds; from minister Reverend William B. Sloan, circuit riding pastor from 1798 to 1834 to farmer Roy Heritage (1924-2000) to housewife Beatrice McCorkell (1923-2011); from Brigadier General William Maxwell, who spent the winter of 1777 with General George Washington at Valley Forge to his slave who was buried in the family plot some 75 years before slavery was abolished. Legend has it that Chingachgook, the last of the Mohicans, is buried here. Veterans of every era - from the Revolutionary War through the Vietnam Conflict - are buried here. Our historic tree program highlights important events and people from our country's past. It truly is historic and sacred ground.
