The Center Street Cemetery in Wallingford, Connecticut is a convert|6|acre|m2|sing=on cemetery dating from 1670.

Lyman Hall, a native of Connecticut who moved to Georgia and was a signer of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, is memorialized here.

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; John Brockett who designed much of New Haven, and Joseph Benham, whose daughter was the last person in New England to be tried for witchcraft.

In addition to such notables are stones marking the graves of the town's first settlers and those of soldiers who fought in the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the American Civil War and every other major conflict up to the present.
