Colonel Jonathan Buck's
'Stained Gravestone'
📍Bucksport, Maine
👻 👻 👻
Steeped in local legend, Colonel Buck, a significant figure in the region’s early history, and Colonel in the French and Indian war, was involved in the trial of a woman accused of witchcraft. After her execution, it is said that she cursed him, declaring that she would dance on his grave and his name would forever be associated with her fate. Following his death in 1795, a mysterious stain began to appear on his gravestone, which locals believe to be the manifestation of the witch’s curse.
The stain is often interpreted as resembling a witch's footprint or the image of a dancing witch, fueling the folklore surrounding Buck’s legacy. Many visitors to the cemetery are drawn to the site, intrigued by the supernatural elements of the story. This stain has become a symbol of the historical tensions surrounding witchcraft accusations and serves as a reminder of the dark chapters in local history.

The Irish Round Tower
📍Milford, Massachusetts
The Irish Round Tower is based on a tower on Devenish Island in Lower Lough Erne in County Fermanagh, Ireland. At 73.5 feet, the Round Tower is located in the St. Mary's Parish Cemetery and was dedicated on July 10, 1896
The tower stands as a unique monument to the pastor who crafted its vision, Father Patrick Cuddihy, a native of Cashel, Ireland, insisted the Round Tower be a part of the parish cemetery as a reminder of his homeland and in tribute to the Irish in America.
According to his obituary in the Clonmel Chronicle of Ireland, Fr. Cuddihy explained his reason for the tower this way: "When chided by a friend on the subject of the tower, Cuddihy replied, 'It may be folly – yet when you and I have passed away, the Irish in America will make a pilgrimage to the Irish Round Tower at Milford."

The Battle of Wethersfield
April 23, 1637
📍Wethersfield, Connecticut
200 Pequot indians attacked the colonial village of Wethersfield, killing 6 men and 3 women, all noncombatants. English forces, led by Captain John Mason, defended their settlements from Pequot attacks. The battle involved a series of skirmishes rather than a single large engagement, with the Pequots targeting English outposts and farms.
Casualties in the Battle of Wethersfield were relatively light compared to other major conflicts of the Pequot War. The English forces suffered a few casualties but managed to repel the Pequot attackers. The Pequot losses were more significant, though exact numbers are not well-documented. This engagement was part of a broader series of conflicts that led to the eventual defeat and near-destruction of the Pequot tribe, significantly altering the power dynamics in the region.

I've never been, but I hear it's a decent local Irish-American bar and BASED on their google reviews, they are particular about who they let in.
