Most people see a quiet cemetery, but if you look closely at the headstones in Southampton, you will find 24 veterans of the American Revolution. These burials are located on Second Street Pike in Upper Southampton Township, Bucks County.
The main building, a stuccoed stone meeting house, was built in 1772 and substantially enlarged in 1814. It is a two-story structure with a steep gable roof and serves as a historic Baptist church and cemetery.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Today, it remains a piece of Bucks County architecture for anyone who prefers their history with a side of stone and silence.
