Edson Cemetery

Edson Cemetery is a burial ground in Lowell arranged in a distinctive triangular layout with organized sections. The site features two buildings, including a chapel constructed from granite in Gothic design.

The cemetery was established in 1846 following a city decision and named after Reverend Theodore Edson from a local church. It grew into a significant burial place that reflected the town's development over generations.

People come here not only to remember their loved ones but also to honor those whose stories are part of the town's identity. The space functions as a living memorial where the community gathers to acknowledge their shared heritage.

The grounds are open to visitors during regular hours and laid out in a way that makes it easy to navigate between sections. Wear comfortable shoes since the terrain can be uneven and walking through the site takes time to explore.

The grounds hold the graves of two Civil War Medal of Honor recipients, drawing visitors interested in military history. These honored burials stand as reminders of exceptional service and sacrifice from that era.
