Land's End Cemetery

Lands End Cemetery is located on Hawleyville Road in Newtown, Connecticut. The property was designated as a cemetery in 1748. It appears to be still in use. Although located on a main road, the entrance is difficult to navigate. 

Fun fact: The first recorded “white male” born in Newtown in 1709, named Jeremiah Turner, died in 1778 and is buried at Lands End Cemetery. 

Estimated number of interments, as of January 2024: at least 1059.
