Westerly Burial Ground
Westerly Burial Ground, Historic cemetery in West Roxbury, Massachusetts, US.
The Westerly Burial Ground covers several acres of land at the intersection of Centre Street and LaGrange Street, containing 273 documented burial records.
Established in 1683 as Boston's seventh-oldest burial site, the cemetery expanded in 1832 and 1844 to accommodate the increasing population of West Roxbury.
The burial ground contains graves of eight Revolutionary War veterans and fifteen Civil War veterans, representing significant periods in American military history.
The cemetery gates remain open during daylight hours, with multiple access points from Centre Street and designated paths throughout the grounds.
Individual mound tombs distinguish this cemetery from others, as these structures commemorate single persons rather than following the common communal design.
