The Springtown cemetery is located on a hill overlooking the Madawaska River and is quite possibly a protestant cemetery. The sign on the gate says “Springtown Cemetery 1866”. It is a small cemetery and is surrounded by bush and has been fenced off. It is not known if this cemetery is still in use. The stones in this cemetery for the most part are very old. The cemetery is full, and while the logging was going on in the 1880’s some men who were drowned, are buried in the cemetery.
