Westport Island has more than 70 known small family cemeteries. The Cemetery Committee has located and maintains these treasures of our history. The committee also places flags on all of the veteran’s graves — currently numbering over 50.

A complete list of cemeteries, with a list of those buried in each of the cemeteries, GPS coordinates of the cemeteries, and Find-A-Grave numbers, is available in the book Westport Island, Maine Cemeteries (Revised 2014). It is available for purchase for $15, at the History Center (Sundays, noon to 2 pm) and in the Town Office (Tuesday, 10 am to 6 pm; Wednesday and Thursday, 10 am to 2 pm).
