Stark Memorial Cemetery

Stark Lane, Dunbarton, New Hampshire

(Photos taken October, 2003)

The Stark Cemetery is located in the northeastern part of Dunbarton close to the Stark Pond where the Stark Mill was situated. In 1962 it was moved to its present site near where what is known as the mulberry field. This was due to the Army Corps of engineeers' erecting the Hopkinton-Everett Dam for flood control. It was considered that in a period of very high water, the site would have been below flood line.

The Dunbarton Historical Society leased the old cemetery site, had it dedicated as Stark memorial Park on November 13, 1971, and continues to maintain it.
