Veterans Day observances in Wellesley

November 6, 2017 by Deborah Brown Leave a Comment

Wellesley Village Church cemetery
The Wellesley Congregational Church and cemetery, located on Central St., are on the list of the National Register of Historic Places. There are eleven Revolutionary War veterans and two Civil War veterans buried in the historic cemetery. Part of Needham until 1881, when West Needham residents voted to secede, this was the primary burial place for the community from at least 1777 to 1893.
