The house in the cemetery is from 1790 and is the L Dickinson house.
The chapel was donated in 1897 by Fidelia Dickinson. She is in the West Cemetery of Amherst – FINDAGRAVE That is the year she died so most likely it was donated via probate. Her husband is Joseph Dickinson Jr and her father in law is Joseph Dickinson Sr. When this Joseph Sr married Sarah Hunt in about 1795 they must have had the house built.
The land to the south of the cemetery belongs to the Wildwood Cemetery and you can walk on it. The land to the northeast of the cemetery also belongs to the Wildwood and it is held as conservation land.
