I. INTRODUCTION
CONCISE PROJECT DESCRIPTION INCLUDING ALL CEMETERY NAMES AND PHYSICAL ADDRESSES: Note if
cemetery is an ancient burial ground defined as been used as a burial ground for more than 100 years
The Waterford Historic Properties Commission hopes to use this funding to hire a
contractor to mow three neglected cemeteries for the year. The three, Gorton
{intersection of Cross Road and Waterford Parkway, Waterford, CT 06385) , Durfey
(Roper Ferry Road, Waterford, CT 06385) and Williams / Church (Lahtrop Road,
Quaker Hill, CT 06475), receive no regular maintenance and are located along
busy roads. We hope the regular mowings will attract attention to their plight in
addition to taming the grass and brush that would again overgrow them.
