SHARON BURYING GROUND ASSOCIATION

The Sharon Burying Ground Association preserves and maintains the historic Sharon Burying Ground, an important cemetery in Newmarket that dates back to the early settlement of the area. The organization works to protect this cultural landmark through ongoing maintenance, restoration of gravesites and monuments, and archival research into the individuals buried there. By documenting the stories of those interred in the cemetery, the association connects visitors to the region's history and heritage. The Sharon Burying Ground serves as both a place of remembrance and an outdoor museum that educates the community about the lives and times of early settlers in the GTA. The association depends on volunteers and donations to carry out its preservation work and public programming.
