The thirty-five acres on
which the Green Mount Cemetery is located, were bought in 1854.
Of the purchase price of $2,210., $1,000.00 was donated by Calvin
Keith, a Montpelier lawyer and $1,210.00 was put up by the town.
In 1905, the Chapel-Vault building was erected from a generous
bequest of John E. Hubbard. The Vault portion can hold up to
60 entombments and the chapel can accommodate 60 people for funeral
services. Since this time, Green Mount Cemetery proudly exhibits
many terraced lots, 2.5 miles of curved roads, and many pleasant
shade trees and ornamental shrubs. There are many sculptured
works which are memorials to the talents of our area's artisans
both past and present.
Guided tours upon request.
