Burial Ground Research

The Wilson Museum is in the midst of a long-range project of surveying the local burial grounds beginning with the Castine Town Cemetery on the Castine Peninsula. Data on smaller burial grounds will be added later.

New volunteers are welcomed to join in this endeavor and will surely speed the process. Help is needed in gathering data on-site, and entering data into the database.
