Comstock Cemetery Fall Clean-up

Drum Hill Daughters of the American Revolution is sponsoring clean-up of Comstock Cemetery on Ridgefield Rd./Rte 33.

The Comstock Cemetery is located behind a hill on the west side of Ridgefield Rd., just south of Signal Hill Rd. North. There rest more than 60 forefathers of Wilton and their family members. It was opened during the Revolution in 1782 and is the third oldest burial yard in the Town. Burials continued to be made here until 1851. A marker at the southern entrance, placed by the Drum Hill Chapter of the DAR, marks the cemetery as the resting place of seven Revolutionary War soldiers.
