Richard Potter, born in 1783, became one of the first American-born professional magicians and a prominent Black entertainer in the early United States. He and his wife Sally are buried near Potter Place, the village that eventually took his name. The graves are behind the historic railroad-station area and are accessible for respectful visits.
