Download a copy
of a portion of an old map of Freeport Borough (ca
1842
1854) showing John Varner's lots
and its relation to Old Freeport Cemetery. For years
this map portion was thought to have come from a map dated 1842. This
map is actually a portion of a photocopy of a map dated 1854. The
Freeport Area Historical Society sells this 1854 map. For more
