Time: 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM
Location: Sawyer Hill Burying Ground
Description: Join Bethany Groff Dorau for a fascinating journey through history as we explore the Sawyer Hill Burying Ground. Discover the stories of the men and women who played a vital role in the Revolutionary War.
Sawyer Hill Burying Ground has been the final resting place for many of the Newburys’ dearly departed since 1695. The three-acre cemetery's oldest stone is from 1705 and belongs to Mrs. Hannah Bartlett, grandmother of Josiah Bartlett, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Moses Little, hero of the Battle of Bunker Hill, also rests here, along with numerous other men and women who lived through the American Revolution on "the Plains" in the west end of Newbury.
Important: Please wear comfortable shoes and bring water. The tour involves walking on uneven terrain. Meet outside the rest rooms at the Maudslay State Park parking lot (parking fee).
