The Norfolk Center Cemetery was established in 1757, a year before the town of Norfolk was incorporated on October 12, 1758, and is therefore the oldest official burial ground in our town.
"The living come with grassy tread
To read the gravestones on the hill;
The graveyard draws the living still,
But never anymore the dead."
– From “In a Disused Graveyard” by Robert Frost (1923)
