Old Cutchogue Burying Ground Tours
October 3 @ 2:00 pm – 4:30 pm
The Cutchogue-New Suffolk Historical Council and the North Fork Community Theatre will host their annual tour of the Old Cutchogue Burying Ground on Saturday, October 3, 2026, (rain date Oct. 4th)
The tour begins at a booth on the northwest corner of the Old Burial Ground at 32770 Main Road (corner of Main Road and Harbor Lane). Actors in period costumes recount the life stories of historic figures who are buried in the graveyard.
“Widow guides” dressed in Victorian mourning costumes will guide visitors through the burial ground, where the costumed actors will recount the lives of notable figures in Cutchogue’s history while standing atop their graves. The notables include a veteran of the French-Indian War, an exiled Tory, a beloved school teacher, people who were enslaved, and many more who were responsible for forming Cutchogue as we know it today. This year, in honor of America’s 250th anniversary, we will feature Revolutionary War Veterans buried at the site.The tour will include a brief history of the burial site, and Mary Kalich, a member of the board of directors of the Theatre will give a brief history of the theater and tell how it was once a church.
Tours will start at 2 pm. Tour groups of a maximum of 20 people will be scheduled in 10-minute intervals. Tickets are $25.00/pp (+$3 processing fee) and are available at www.nfct.com or at 631-298-NFCT (6328) All proceeds equally benefit the two organizations that are hosting the tour.
