The Landing Site and Burial Ground
Do not forget to stop at the Burial Grounds and the 1784 Landing Site. They are situated a few hundred yards behind the Museum. The Burial Grounds were used by the early settlers but abandoned by the 1860s. Many stones were made from rough stones and/or wood and have disappeared - many were taken by Local over a century ago to be used as building material. In the 1950s the Province of Ontario gathered the remaining stones, many deeply buried in the sod and built them into a masonry wall. A few stones remain where they were first placed. A fine example is the marker of Joseph Allison: "He was an active and influential man in Church and State. He became a Methodist local preacher in 1835, receiving his certificate from Rev. Wm. Ryerson, who was then the presiding elder. He was for years a township officer, elected at the Town meetings, and later on Reeve of the township and a member of the Counties Council for Frontenac, Lennox and Addington. He was also for years Superintendent of Schools for the township-in the sixties-and held other positions. His brother Cyrus became a leading Methodist minister, and died at Picton years ago. Joseph died and was buried in Adolphustown over thirty years ago." from the pen of T.W. Casey, around 1875.
