The Center Street Cemetery on Center Street in Wallingford, Connecticut is a cemetery dating from 1670. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. Lyman Hall, a native of Connecticut who moved to Georgia and was a signer of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, is memorialized here, as is Moses Yale Beach, newspaper publisher and founder of the Associated Press. The tomb, set on the north end of the 300-year-old Center Street Cemetery, lies near the graves of such other notaries as Thomas Yale, brother of the founder of Yale University; and Joseph Benham, whose daughter and granddaughter were the last people in New England to be tried for witchcraft.〔Entertaining the Devil in Connecticut.
