HISTORIC NEWTON WALKS

Newton Cemetery: A Good State of Forwardness Did you know that the land that Newton Cemetery occupies now was once used for pharmaceutical and leather factories?

Learn about how that industrial land was developed as part of the garden cemetery movement, and why it’s important as a green space today.

Follow Archivist Sara Goldberg and Preservation Planner Katy Holmes on a walk through Newton Cemetery at 791 Walnut St, featuring some of the cemetery’s most notable “residents.” Meet in front of the chapel just inside the main gate.

Parking is available in the parking lot to the left of the chapel.

Free.
