Tour of the Old Cutchogue Burial Ground
The Cutchogue-New Suffolk Historical Council and the North Fork Community Theatre will host their annual tour of the Old Cutchogue Burying Ground Tour on Saturday, October 3, 2026, (rain date Oct. 4)
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 at their graves. The notables include a veteran of the French-Indian War, an exiled Tory, a beloved school teacher, a freed slave and many more who were responsible for forming Cutchogue as we know it today.
This year, in honor of America’s 250th, we will be featuring Revolutionary War Veterans buried at the site. The tour will include a brief history of the Burial Ground, and Mary Kalich, a member of the board of directors of the Theatre will give a brief history of the Theatre.
Tours begin at 2pm and will run every 10 minutes until 4pm. The tour begins at a booth on the North West corner of the Old Burial Ground at 32770 Main Road (corner of Main Road and Harbor Lane). 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 our two organizations.
