The Leavitt Cemetery, situated on a knoll of land, is located on the Canterbury Road a few rods west of the Methodist Church. It was built by a stock company ,ncorporated at the session of the Legislature in 1854. Original stockholders were Hazen K. Leavitt, Solomon Leavitt, Jacob P. Leavitt, Benjamin F. Leavitt, G. W. West, Moses W.Page, Richard Locke, True Sanborn, True Sanborn, Jr. and Benning Sanborn. The company purchased seven acres of land, enclosed it with a neat and substantial fence, constructed a beautiful driveway across a valley to it, divided it off into lots, set out shade trees and otherwise improved it. In 1936 the town took over the cemetery. The town obtained about three quarters of an acre in an adjoining field to allow for expansion.
