The East Dunbarton Cemetery was first located on the land of Perley Warriner. It was later relocated to its present site. It is the resting place of the early Putney family and sons of James Rogers.
The Dunbarton Center Cemetery was originally on the west side of Prospect Hill. The land was so ledgey the cemetery had to be moved and was relocated to its present site.
The North Dunbarton Cemetery (or Page's Corner Cemetery) was earlier the private Page family burying ground. In the northeast corner of the cemetery are several unmarked field stones locating the graves of the slaves who worked for Caleb Page.
The Stark Cemetery is located in the northeastern part of Dunbarton close to the Stark Pond where the Stark Mill was situated. In 1962 it was moved to its present site near where what is known as the mulberry field. This was due to the Army Corps of Engineers' erecting the Hopkinton-Everett Dam for flood control. It was considered that in a period of very high water, the site would have been below flood line.
The Dunbarton Historical Society leased the old cemetery site, had it dedicated as Stark Memorial Park on November 13, 1971, and continues to maintain it.
