Behind the Western Counties Public Library on Main Street, Yarmouth, is the Memorial Wall, displaying all that is left of the old Cemetery that was situated on the site. Erected in 1923 and completed in 1973 by the Rotary Club of Yarmouth, it lists all known graves in the cemetery. The surviving headstones became part of the wall.
