Old Burying Ground Tour – Huntington Historical Society

Discover Huntington’s earliest public burying ground on a guided tour exploring the people, history, and stories that helped shape our community. 

The tour begins at the doors of The Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Building. This iconic building, located just outside the Burying Ground, was built in 1892 as a memorial to Huntington residents who died in the Civil War and now houses Huntington’s History & Decorative Arts Museum.

From there, participants will explore Huntington’s earliest public burying ground, established soon after the Town’s 1653 founding. Along the way, you’ll view stunning folk art and beautiful epitaphs while listening to stories of Huntington’s residents and rich history.

Please note that Jeff Richman will share stories of Huntington Patriots and their sacrifices during the British military occupation of the Town.
