Greenlawn Cemetery, Historic cemetery in Salem, United States

Greenlawn Cemetery is a historic burial ground in Salem located at 57 Orne Street with undulating terrain and winding pathways throughout. The grounds feature two ponds and diverse plantings across the landscape.

Greenlawn Cemetery was founded in 1807 at 57 Orne Street. In the 1880s it was redesigned in the rural cemetery style, with winding lanes and landscaping across its 100 acres (40 ha). It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015 and remains in active use.

Greenlawn holds the graves of Medal of Honor recipient John Phillip Riley (1877–1950) and Reverend Jacob Stroyer (1848–1908), a formerly enslaved man who became a minister and wrote about his life. A cenotaph honors Thomas E. Atkinson (1824–1868), another Medal of Honor recipient, whose remains lie elsewhere.

The cemetery covers 100 acres at 57 Orne Street and is still in active use, so visitors may encounter ongoing burials. Its winding lanes date from the 1880s redesign, making the grounds easy to explore on foot. No opening hours or pet rules are documented in the sources.

The tree collection ranks second in Massachusetts only to the Arnold Arboretum in Boston, so the plantings were assembled deliberately rather than left to grow. Among the burials are Medal of Honor recipient John Phillip Riley (1877–1950) and Reverend Jacob Stroyer (1848–1908); Thomas E. Atkinson (1824–1868) has a cenotaph here.
