Vermont Genealogy


Carver's Falls Cemetery is located just west of route 22-A, from Fair Haven to Benson. It is considered to be in the township of West Haven because the center of the woodroad which leads to the cemetery is the dividing line between West Haven and the village of Fair Haven.

It was in a neglected and disgraceful condition in 1955, a tangled mass of fallen trees, branches, berry bushes and grapevines. In the spring of 1957, it was found to have been cleaned up, fallen trees removed and the brush cut.

There is evidence of many graves without markers of any kind. Many of the stones are broken, some are buried under sod and many have crumbled to dust leaving only stumps. The earliest date of burial was 1788 and the latest was 1913.

The woodroad divides the cemetery in half.
