Hillside Cemetery is located on the westerly side of the Ridgefield Road about a quarter of a mile west of the Wilton Congregational Church and is one of the naturally beautiful high spots in Wilton. It is owned and managed by the Wilton Congregational Church. The land was given to the church in 1831 for use as a cemetery following the building of its third church in 1790, succeeding its establishment in 1726. The cemetery area was enlarged to about ten acres in 1918 by the gift of the adjoining and older E. G. Betts Family Cemetery. Two subsequent purchases of land make almost thirty-five acres available.

The Sharp Hill Cemetery dates back to around 1738 when it replaced the long lost original burying ground on Wolfpit Rd. The land was given by John Marvin, Sr. and later supplemented by a purchase from Richard Dunning. The earliest legible stone is that of Mable Elmer with a date of January 1744. Many of the stones are simply field stones mounted on edge. Eighteen Revolutionary War and six French and Indian War veterans are buried here. Sharp Hill was a principal burying place for Wilton up until the mid 1800s.
331 Danbury Road, Wilton, CT
Owner: Private
Description: Spruce Bank Cemetery was active from at least 1749 through 1878. Late 19th century sources say it was for enslaved and free Black Wiltonians; in particular members of the Black and Native American Tonquin family may be buried here. Extensive documentary research led to the discovery of a portion of the cemetery in 2023 (about a tenth of the original area in the land records) when Ground Penetrating Radar confirmed eight burials. No visible surface evidence remains.
