Olde East Street Burying Grounds
Olde East Street Burying Grounds – before 1766 to 1856
This marker fondly and respectfully commemorates for all time, the contributions of our early citizens to the establishment of our Town's sturdy character.
Here lie our earliest settlers, sharing the green earth with honored dead of the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, civic leaders, business men and farmers.
Sadly, here also lie a number of unrecorded persons, who, though nameless are no less honored.
Time may obliterate records, dim memories and topple markers, but it can never diminish that which we, the citizens of Plainville, Connecticut, owe these early dwellers of the Great Plain.
This marker erected 1971 through the efforts of
the Plainville Cemetery Association and the Plainville Historical Society
Marker is at the intersection of East Street (Connecticut Route 10) and Robert Holcomb Way, on the left when traveling north on East Street.
