Brimfield Street Cemetery Clinton, NY Town of Kirkland

Located just outside the village of Clinton, NY on Brimfield Street near the Cleary Rd intersection in what was once known as the "Ellinwood District" is this small roadside pocket cemetery now known as the Brimfield Street Cemetery. It is one of the villages original burying grounds, and most likely served as an extention of the first burying ground of Clinton (Kirkland) which is the Old Clinton Burying Ground located on Kirkland, Ave. Nestled between a golf course and a home, Brimfield Street cemetery is non-active but is mainained and is very easily accessible. Many of those interred there are early settlers of the village who came from Brimfield Mass. There are currently less than 40 intact headstones with several broken and deteriorated beyond legibility.
Historic original cemetery worth a visit!
