This cemetery is located on the road heading east from Alburgh Center towards Lake Champlain. It is on the north side of the road. It is a very old burying ground for this area. The first known burial was of Hugh McLain in 1787. In 1826, apparently the cemetery was getting full, so adjacent land was deeded by Robert and Amos Ransom to expand it. The cemetery was at that time referred to as the Alburgh Mud Creek Burial Ground. The cemetery is well maintained, although numerous stones are now quite eroded. The cemetery was documented in 1941 and 1947 by the George McLellan and his family of Champlain, NY. The McLellan collection, available at the St. Albans Historical Society library in St. Albans, VT, was used by Allen Stratton to document burials (through about 1945) in his book The History of Alburgh, Vermont (1986). This cemetery description is summarized from information contained in Mr. Stratton's book.
