Lowell Cemetery, Historic cemetery in Lowell, United States
The 84-acre Lowell Cemetery features rolling terrain with granite monuments, Victorian tombstones, and paths following the natural landscape along the Concord River.
Established in 1841, this burial ground became the fourth rural cemetery in the United States, following the model of Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge.
The cemetery houses monuments created by notable architects and sculptors, including the Ayer Lion monument and the Storey Memorial by Evelyn Beatrice Longman.
The main entrance through Lawrence Street Gate provides access to walking tours, burial services, and genealogical research opportunities throughout the year.
The cemetery incorporates Egyptian Revival and Art Deco architectural elements across its grounds, with two Gothic Revival buildings designed by Frederick Stickney.
