Samuel Harpending donated land for the first Baptist Church to be built in Dundee on this plot. A newer Episcopal Church was later built on this site in the earth 20th century. This building is now used as the town hall.

The cemetery is in rather poor condition from both age and neglect. This is a compilation of many readings that have been done on this particular cemetery. This cemetery is located on public property, accessible from Seneca St.
