About North Milton Cemetery
North Milton Cemetery is a major historic burial ground in the Town of Milton and is closely associated with the North Milton area. It serves generations of local families and helps anchor the cemetery history of this part of Saratoga County.
This cemetery is especially important because it reflects long-standing local burial traditions, older family memorials, and a strong connection to the surrounding Milton community. For many families, it is both a burial ground and a place where local history remains visible through names, dates, and enduring memorial traditions.
Because memorials in older cemeteries experience long-term weather exposure, moisture, biological growth, and seasonal change, stones can gradually lose readability or develop staining. That is why preservation-safe cleaning and respectful cemetery care are often especially important at North Milton Cemetery.
Historical Significance
Town of Milton historical material states that the burial ground at this site had been in use since 1793 by the people of North Milton and Greenfield Center. The same document identifies Mary Bentley as the first burial and notes that the cemetery later became known as North Milton Cemetery. The association was incorporated in 1899 to manage the grounds.
Older county cemetery references also identify this cemetery as the former Boyce Cemetery, which is why families may encounter more than one naming format while researching graves or family history.
Because cemeteries like this preserve both family history and early settlement history, gravestone care at North Milton Cemetery should always be handled carefully, conservatively, and with preservation in mind rather than aggressive cleaning methods.
