Sikes Cemetery is on Munsing Street. It is about from the year 1772. It was given then as a gift from Benjamin Sikes as the first burial ground of Ludlow. Ludlow was settled in 1751 and thus earlier burials would be in Springfield. Ludlow would be a district in 1774 and a town in 1775. Thus this cemetery gift was to the settlers of Ludlow who were acting as members of a town but formally it was still Springfield. It was at first called the Center Cemetery and then the Old Center Cemetery when the Center Cemetery was made.
A fence was placed around it in 1782 and a stone wall in 1865.
