Overlooking Monument Square is Concord’s Old Hill Burying Ground, which officially dates back to 1677, though is thought to contain unmarked graves from the town’s earliest settlers. Several prominent figures are buried here including Hugh Cargill, a former British soldier who became a successful citizen of Concord and left a significant part of his fortune to Concord for charitable purposes. John Jack, the first free slave to own land in Concord, is also buried here.
