Dartmouth Cemetery trustee Petra Sergent plays a crucial role in maintaining the cemetery’s headstones. Established in 1771 by Eleazar Wheelock, the Dartmouth Cemetery, also known as the Town of Hanover Cemetery, was maintained by the Dartmouth Cemetery Association from 1845 to 1943, according to Dartmouth News. In 1943, the Association ran out of funds and signed the deed to the Town of Hanover, who has managed the grounds since.

The Dartmouth sat down with Sergent to discuss the DCCG, the cemetery’s history and the lives of those buried on campus.
