Shawsheen Cemetery

Bedford, United States · built 1849

Shawsheen Cemetery is a historic cemetery on Great Road and Shawsheen Road in Bedford, Massachusetts. The cemetery is Bedford's second, opened in 1849 as its Old Burying Ground was filling up. The original ten acres, and a number of smaller additions between 1894 and 1959, were laid out in the rural cemetery style made fashionable in the 19th century. The total size of the cemetery is 44 acres (18 ha), but not all of this has been developed. The older sections of the cemetery were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.
