Discover the secrets of the twice buried

July 24, 2015

This month’s “hike” is more about education than exercise. Join us and the Dunbarton Cemetery Trustees for a visit to Dunbarton's Stark Cemetery, Saturday, August 15 at 10 a.m.

Who's buried here? Why the Starks of course, and the Winslows, the Lowells and a few select others who have secured a private resting place.

So what, you say. Why is this exclusive resting spot of import or interest to us Dunbarton folk?

Did you know that the deceased resting in Stark Cemetery were twice buried and that it is the final resting place of the National Book Award and two-time Pulitzer Prize winning poet Robert Lowell?

Come along and learn more!

The Stark Cemetery is located on Mansion Road just north of its intersection with Barnard Hill Road.

For more information contact hike leader Matt Lavey at lavey123@gsinet.net or 774-5212.
