Brookside Cemetery

Brookside Cemetery (previously called Reed Cemetery or Old Five Mile River Cemetery) is one of the oldest cemeteries in Norwalk, and many of the area’s oldest settlers are buried there. In particular, there is the grave of Reverend Moses Mather, the first minister of the Middlesex Meetinghouse and prominent figure of the Revolutionary War in Connecticut. Also buried here are members of the Reed, Richard, Hoyt, Warren, Webb, and Raymond families, who are notable figures in Darien and Norwalk histories.
