A Walk Through Dunstan Cemetery

with Ron Romano

$12

Dunstan Cemetery was established in the 1870s but has a surprising earlier history as a common burial ground. Many families moved graves from their farm-based private cemeteries into Dunstan, often bringing the original early gravestones with them. Dunstan holds a fine collection of early 1800s slate markers from our region’s first stonecutter, Bartlett Adams. Marble and sandstone obelisks, a zinc monument, a receiving tomb and paupers field combine to make for a compelling tour of Scarborough’s history. We meet at Dunstan Cemetery, US Route 1, one block south of the Historical Society in Scarborough. Register early for this popular class! Max. 20 participants.
