Old Burying Ground Cemetery Tour
Members $10; Non-Members $15; Children $5
The tour begins at the doors of The Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Building (228 Main Street). This iconic building, just outside the Burying Ground, was built in 1892 as a memorial to the Huntington residents who died in the Civil War and now houses Huntington’s History & Decorative Arts Museum.
From there we’ll explore Huntington’s earliest public burying ground, established soon after the Town’s 1653 founding. You’ll view stunning folk art and beautiful epitaphs while listening to stories of Huntington’s residents and rich history.
*Please note Jeff Richman will share stories of Huntington Patriots and their sacrifies during the British military occupation of the town.
All tours begin inside The Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Building located at 228 Main Street Huntington, NY 11743
