Dorchester North Burying Ground, Historic burial ground in Upham's Corner, Boston, United States.
The Dorchester North Burying Ground spans across an area marked by concrete walls and iron fencing along Columbia Road at Stoughton Street intersection.
Established in 1634, this cemetery contains over 1200 markers and serves as the final resting place for two colonial governors, William Stoughton and William Tailer.
The burial ground features numerous examples of early slate gravestone art from the seventeenth through twentieth centuries, reflecting evolving funerary sculpture styles.
