ON SITE

It is one of the most typical examples of the family cemeteries established by pioneers of American origin in the early 1800s. Within it is the obelisk of John Bellows, one of the builders of Barnston’s Baptist Church. Constructed in 1837, this church is one of the region’s heritage treasures.

A guide will accompany you during your tour, and you’ll meet John’s daughter Sarah, a ghost from the grave who will recount her tale of another time.

This audioguide will help make your visit of the Bellows Cemetery a memorable one. Be sure to travel to the cemetery itself: onsite, you will fully appreciate the beauty and the spirit of the place!

We suggest preloading the tour in your smart device before going to the location (Preload option in the app). You will then be able to access all of the content when you are onsite without Internet. We also recommend the use of earphones to fully enjoy the audio content.

Welcome to Bellows-Buckland Cemetery!
