Bell Rock Cemetery

Bell Rock Cemetery is a burial ground in Everett located near the Mystic River landing, where thousands of people have been laid to rest across centuries. The site contains numerous gravestones and memorials spread across several acres of land.

The cemetery's recorded history begins in the mid-1600s when it became the burial place for early colonial settlers in the area. It has remained an active burial ground ever since, serving the community for more than three centuries.

The cemetery holds graves of people who built the early community here, with their names and stones telling the story of families who settled in this region. The burial ground became a place where generations marked their connections to this land.

The cemetery is open for visitors to walk through and explore the gravestones at their own pace throughout the day. Coming during daylight hours and fair weather will help you see the inscriptions and monuments more clearly.

Some of the oldest surviving gravestones date from the late 1600s and feature hand-carved inscriptions that show the craftsmanship of that era. These early stones look quite different from later monuments in their simple designs and weathered appearance.
