The Central Avenue-Center Cemetery Historic District encompasses part of the town center of East Hartford, Connecticut. Although it was founded in the mid-17th century, it is now dominated by architecture of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Center Cemetery is the town's oldest surviving property, and includes the grave of William Pitkin, a colonial governor. The district, including portions of Main Street and Central Avenue, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. Read more on Wikipedia
