Monuments oceans and…read morelichen The Langsford Cemetery is also called Seaside Cemetery and appears on different maps with the different names. It's the same place though. The graveyard was established in 1857 so it isn't one of the really old ones in New England. Most of the graves seem to date from the late 1800s and apparently that's when it had the most use. The cemetery does indeed have some very lovely views of the ocean from the small hills and also has some very old and very spooky looking trees. Many of the monuments are rather modest and are covered by the yellow lichen that seems to cover everything near the ocean up north. Some of the gravestones are worn away but others are still in pretty decent shape. All depends on the location and direction of the wind. A lovely and historic old graveyard that not only gives a sense of Cape Ann history but also has some lovely views of the raging ocean.

Massive and vast…read more Oak Grove is a sprawling 15 acre cemetery that was founded in 1854. Certainly not an ancient graveyard by New England standards but it is unique in the many massive and huge memorials. The cemetery is a lovely place with many old trees and huge boulders scattered around. Some of the graves are simple and plain but others are just incredibly huge. Including some of the largest ones I have ever seen in any cemetery. Not only massive memorials but many odd shapes and strange forms. An amazing assortment of different gravestones and ways to remember the departed. It is large but there are much larger cemeteries. It is old but definitely nowhere near the oldest. But Oak Grove is one of the most interesting graveyards I have ever been in.

This is the oldest town burial ground and features a large iron gateway with the date of "1661" at…read morethe entrance. Included within the stone wall boundaries are the Tappan and Forster families' graves and Revolutionary and Civil War soldiers' headstones. The earliest legible gravestone dates to 1714 for "Joseph Woodbury and Wife." Many headstones are older than the Woodburys. Unfortunately, time and New England's harsh climate have made the inscriptions no longer legible. The earliest of these, hewn and engraved by unskilled hands from common pasture stones, are memorials of the humble and straightforward lives of our forefathers. Please stop by and review. Remember that "rubbing" headstones causes damage. Stay on the walking paths and take only pictures. [Review 18590 overall - 1172 in Massachusetts - 2112 of 2022.]

St. Mary's Cemetery is another cemetery in Salem. It's in close proximity to Greenlawn Cemetery…read more(within walking distance). St Mary's looks newer and has a more traditional cemetery layout. The landscape is mostly flat. Most of the trees seem to be gathered towards the back of the cemetery. I wouldn't really recommend taking a stroll through St. Mary's as it is not too scenic. Additionally, the cemetery lacks any pedestrian walkways. If you're like me and prefer older cemeteries that more closely resemble parks, I'd look into exploring other cemeteries in the area.

A very large…read moregraveyard Harmony Grove is a very large and cool cemetery. Opened it 1840, it is built on very uneven terrain and has some steep hills, great old trees and lots and lots of different types of gravestones and memorials. I'm not sure how many acres the cemetery has but it certainly is vast. A cool Gothic revival chapel built in 1905 is at the entrance and then the small roads just sort of meander over the hills and through the trees. Lot of huge, medium and small sized monuments. Some quite modest and others very impressive and not doubt expensive. Some famous people that I never heard of are buried here as well as a whole lot of not so famous and ordinary folks. Some obelisks, morbid looking angels, a Civil War monument and even a couple of old cannon are scattered about. Some of the gravestones are literally hanging on the edge of small cliffs. One of the very coolest and most interesting graveyards I have been to. You can quite literally spend hours walking around here. A cemetery that is a fascinating place to visit even if you don't know any of the residents.

The walls of the cemetery are allegedly the second longest behind the great wall of china. I, however, don't believe that. It sounds like something that the government made up to justify the word being done at the time to employ the masses during the Great Depression. This is actually a very nice place for a quiet and peaceful walk. It may be a Cemetery but it's beautiful.

So many have been brilliantly preserved and it was an honor to read the names of people who came so far before me.

I don't know if it was part of a tour or an employee. The cemetery had an area right outside the entrance that had memorial benches. People leave things on those benches sometimes. It's like a big square with a path. It overlooks the cemetery, so even if the cemetery is closed, you can still see it.
