Center Cemetery

A walk through this 300-year-old cemetery that lies just a block from the town green offers a window into New Milford’s colorful past. Among its rolling hills and lush grounds, you’ll see the names of the town’s original settlers, along with 50 Revolutionary War soldiers. Other notables buried here: NFL star Francis “Hap” Moran, who played for the New York Giants from 1929 to 1933; and character actor Karl Swenson, whose numerous roles included the kindly lumber mill owner Lars Hanson on TV’s “Little House on the Prairie.”
