Old Polpis Cemetery Information

The Old Polpis Burial Ground is on Polpis Road. Only six stones remain in this burying ground, all dating from after 1990. Older markers existed as little as four years ago.

History
The burial ground is believed to be as old as the first settlement of the area, which dates from the mid-1660s. Among those buried there were members of the Swain family-the original settlers of this section of Nantucket-as well the farming community that for many years maintained the several farms in Polpis.
