Hubbardston's cemeteries are essential resources for genealogical research. St. John the Baptist Cemetery, consecrated in 1884 on land donated by five founding Irish families, contains headstones that record not only names and dates but Irish county origins. The McKenna-Roach headstone, for example, documents connections to both County Monaghan and County Wexford. The Old Pioneer Cemetery predates the Irish settlement, preserving the memory of the township's earliest Euro-American settlers from the 1830s and 1840s.
