History

Maple Grove Cemetery Corp. was established in 1912 for the purpose of "buying and selling real estate" to be used as a burial ground on the east side of Islesboro.

The cemetery contains burials dating back to the mid 1800s and is recognized as one of Islesboro's historic treasures.

Continued support for this valued landmark is crucial for its continued preservation. In our records, we have all the original minutes from those early meetings written by Amasa Williams, who was secretary of the cemetery committee for decades. All who have followed those original members have stayed true to the ideals of the founders and Maple Grove Cemetery speaks to our history.
