Historical Cemetery Tour on Memorial Day

Join us on Memorial Day—Monday, May 26 at 4:00 p.m.—for a guided historical cemetery tour beginning at the Friends Cemetery on Poplar Ridge Road, just west of the Dixon Road intersection, in the town of Ledyard. This site marks the location of the first Friends Meeting House in the area, built in 1810.

The tour will end a short distance west at the Homestead Cemetery, the final resting place of the influential Howland family—prominent Quakers known for their leadership in abolition, education, and social reform.

Come discover the stories of those who helped shape our local history. All are welcome!
