[ 24 ] Taylor Hill Cemetery

In woods off Kendrick Avenue. Take right on Hiller Avenue to left on Summit Street,

Inscriptions on various markers and stones indicate this is the probable site of the first Billingsgate Meeting House, where about 1721, a twenty-by-twenty foot structure was built and a burying ground laid out. Thomas Oakes, a physician from Boston, and his son, Josiah, said to have graduated from Harvard College, are buried here. By 1735 a second Meeting House and burying ground, “the Old Town Cemetery”, was in use at the head of Duck Creek. Members of the Wellfleet Historical Society have restored and preserved this site.
