<\/a><\/p>\nTo see the list of Residents, including profiles and photos,\u00a0go here.<\/a><\/p>\n The Calvinist Baptist Cemetery was established circa 1859 when a Calvinist Baptist Church was built on this site. It is located on the west side of Highway 1 at the north end of the village of Port Maitland, Nova Scotia. Municipal heritage designation applies to the cemetery lot and grave markers.<\/p>\n The Calvinist Baptist Cemetery\u2019s heritage value lies in its being the burial site of a number of local residents and in its being one of three abandoned cemeteries in the Port Maitland \/ Beaver River area that has been \u201cadopted\u201d by a local cemeteries preservation society.<\/p>\n The cemetery is in the village of Port Maitland and abuts the north boundary of the community. A Calvinist Baptist Church was built here in 1859 and the cemetery was established during this period. In 1879 the church was destroyed by fire; however the cemetery may have continued to be used up to 1890, when the current community cemetery was established. Over a period of years, many remains and grave markers were removed from here to the newer cemetery. Presently there are approximately one dozen grave markers remaining. More may be discovered as a local preservation society continues its work on the site.<\/p>\n The Calvinist Baptist Cemetery is the final of the three to be cleared and to have the rest of the mandated items accomplished. As such, a complete plot map will be available when the efforts to clear and upgrade the cemetery are complete.<\/p>\n The cemetery is open year around. The maps, information panels and guest books are present from the end of May to mid-October.<\/p>\n – location on the west side of Highway 1 at the north boundary line of the village of Port Maitland.<\/p>\n Calvinist Baptist Cemetery\u00a0\u00a0 <\/a><\/p>\n
