Wondering about the residents of this historic Cemetery dating back to 1804? Due to its fragile condition, the site is often closed to the public, except by appointment, or during regular openings during the seasonal months. At those times, volunteer docents, often dressed in historic period clothing, will help you learn a little about the buried residents, from as far back as Revolutionary times, and their history within the community, once known as “Beyond the Neck.” The grounds may also be appreciated as a peaceful retreat for reading and contemplation. If interested in being a Docent, joining the Friends of the Milk Row Cemetery, or for more information, please contact bwilson@somervillema.gov or 617-625-6600 x2532 or Barbara Mangum at info@historicsomerville.org or 617-331-7726. *Also check www.somervillema.gov/historicpreservation for other Fall 2016 openings.
