Cemeteries offer a unique view into the way the world once was: how long people lived, how they died, and how they were buried.

Inspired by New York State’s “Path Through History,” the Greater Patchogue Historical Society (GPHS) hosted a tour of West Main Street’s historic cemeteries, located just east of the former Lace Mill.  GPHS members, including Arlene Capobianco, Christopher Capobianco and Steve Lucas, escorted visitors and told them of local lore and legend.
