Village Cemetery
Located at 16 Cemetery Road, Collinsville, CT. The northern part is Protestant. Franklin Gordon was the first burial in October 1832. Samuel Collins, founder of the Collins Company is buried here.

CANTON MEMORIAL MONUMENT is sited close to Huckleberry Hill Road in the northwest corner of the l0-acre Collinsville Village Cemetery, which extends in terraces up the side of the hill behind the monument. The monument is set apart from other stones, somewhat by itself, at the corner of the cemetery. Main entrance to the cemetery is 100' or so south of the monument. The monument is significant historically because it is a tangible symbol of the honor and respect paid by the Canton community to its sons who died in the Civil War.
