New Haven Common Burial Ground
From the settlement of New Haven
1638 to 1796
the adjoining ground was occupied
as a common place of burial.
Then a new burying ground was opened
and divided into family lots
and city squares.
In 1813 this church was placed
over the monuments of several
whose names are engraved on tablets
in the vestibule.
In 1821 the remainig monuments
were by consent of survivors,
and under direction of the city,
removed to the new ground.
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,
At the last trump, the dead shall be raised.
Marker can be reached from Temple Street 0.1 miles south of Elm Street, on the right when traveling south.
