On the left side just a few feet up the road is possibly the home of the owner of the farm land surrounding the Shaw Burying Ground. The home is a two story colonial style wood sided home which possibly dates before 1800. Further research with local historians will be necessary to locate the Shaw Burying Ground.[2]
