[ 36 ] Old Town Cemetery

A second Congregational Meeting House was built here in 1740 on a knoll which slopes to the edge of the present highway, and a burial ground now known as “The Old Town Cemetery” was laid out. In the front section of this cemetery is a fenced memorial monument, “Erected to the memory of Wellfleet Heroes by the Ladies Soldiers Aid Society, assisted by subscribers to the War Fund 1866.”
