Fundy Trail Parkway - Parking Lot 2
Take the Sea Captains’ Burial Ground Footpath and you'll come upon two burial plots. One for the Fownes family and the other for the Melvin family. These two families lived in the area even before the original settlement was established in 1783. They are credited with building 32 ships and working two large farms from 1820 to 1864. There are more than 45 family members buried in the two cemeteries.

Sea Captains' Burial Ground
Follow the Sea Captains' Burial Ground Footpath on the Fundy Trail and you'll find your way to two family burial grounds. The Fownes and Melvin families were some of the original settlers in this area. They were both big shipbuilding families with captains who sailed all around the world - including Europe, India, Africa, Australia, and the Pacific coast of the United States. More than 45 are buried in the two restored cemeteries. If you do the loop, it's about a 1km hike.
