Milford Cemetery (the original and most historic parcel) is located on Gulf Street with an additional entrance on Cherry Street. This cemetery dates back into the early to mid-1600’s. The different types of headstones here reflect the customs, beliefs and lifestyles of those interred. The material that these headstones and or markers are made of consist of brown stone, sandstone, slate, marble and granite. In addition, there are also a few headstones made of a metal composite, which were possibly manufactured in Bridgeport, CT.
The Milford Cemetery is the oldest burial ground in the United States still doing interments.
