SUMMARY:“Spirits of the Past” at Historic Sharp Hill Cemetery
DESCRIPTION:A Historic Walk and Re-Enactment with Wilton Historian Bob Russell \nOn Saturday\, Nov. 2 from 11 a.m.-12 p.m.\, a most unusual tour of Wilton’s oldest burial ground\, the historic Sharp Hill Cemetery\, will be offered. Portrayed by re-enactors\, six of our town’s intrepid early settlers (each buried there) will describe their role in Wilton’s history. Some of the historic figures portrayed will include the thrice married Sarah Lockwood Selleck Hickox (1678-1765)\, Matthew Gregory (1680-1777) and Hannah Keeler Gregory (1687-1767). The history of the cemetery itself will be explored by Wilton history expert and former first selectman Bob Russell. \nThe Sharp Hill Cemetery\, owned by the Wilton Congregational Church\, is the oldest surviving cemetery in Wilton\, dating from 1738. That year\, John Marvin gave 64 square rods (4/10 of an acre) to the “Presbyterian or Congregational Society of Wilton” as the site of a meeting house for the worship of God\, as the Society had outgrown the small building in which they had started 12 years earlier. The cemetery was to surround the new meeting house. Although the church building which was built there only lasted until 1790\, the cemetery was used actively until the mid-1800’s and then was gradually replaced by Hillside Cemetery on Ridgefield Rd.\, which had the advantage of more space. \nThe men and women who are buried in Sharp Hill Cemetery include founders of Wilton\, church leaders\, and 23 veterans of the Revolutionary or the French and Indian Wars. Many of the family names found here are still familiar in Wilton today in person or on street signs\, including Abbott\, Belden\, DeForest\, Dudley\, Fitch\, Gaylord\, Gilbert\, Gregory\, Grumman\, Hurlbutt\, Lambert\, Olmstead\, Raymond\, St. John\, and Sturges. There are about 150 legible gravestones\, including about 70 from the 18th century\, plus another 150 or so stones no longer legible or graves marked only with common fieldstones. Many of the older gravestones have ornate skull carvings and other interesting designs. Because of the fragile nature of many of the stones\, gravestone rubbing is definitely discouraged. \nThe talk is co-sponsored by the Wilton Historical Society and the Wilton Congregational Church. Please register in advance via e-mail or by calling 203.762.7257. The suggested donation is $10.

SUMMARY:Patriots' Day Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Patriots’ Day with Hillside Cemetery. Wilton actually played an important role during the Revolutionary War. A surprisingly large number of over 300 men from Wilton served in military units under Captain Samuel Comstock and Major General Israel Putnam. \nMeet at the Never Forget Garden at Hillside to commemorate Patriots’ Day! There will be remarks on the significance of Patriots’ Day and a reading of the names of 42 Patriots buried in three cemeteries: Hillside\, Comstock\, and Sharp Hill. Participants will place flags at the gravesites of each Patriot. \n
