The Brighton cemetery is not on most maps. Park at the end of Hoyt Place. Knock on the largest monument when you pass it - you'll be surprised to find it is made of metal!
The Brighton cemetery is the resting place of many famous early settlers including members of the Stone, Cobb and Blossom families. Downtown Brighton used to be across the Erie Canal (now 490) from here, at the corner of Winton and East Avenue. In 1905 The city of Rochester annexed Brighton Village and renamed it the 21st Ward, leaving Brighton without a center. The land area of Brighton has been reduced by annexation, from the maximum in 1817, when it contained all the land east of the Genesee River and west of the Towns of Pittsford & Penfield. It was bounded on the south by the Town of Henrietta & on the north by Lake Ontario.
