Truro Madison Cemetery
One of the earliest cemeteries in Truro Township was the Truro Madison Cemetery located on Chatterton Road. It was originally called the Truro Graveyard and was located next to the Truro Presbyterian Church.
Part of the cemetery was relocated when the Chatterton Shopping Center was built in 1969. A few gravestones are still in the original location, surrounded by an iron fence.
