“A Scene of Beauty” – The History and Creation of Quabbin Park Cemetery
Easy walk, uneven ground
“If any burial ground, cemetery, grave or place of human burial is within the area taken in fee by the commission…the commission shall remove the remains found in any such burial places.” Specifically mentioned in the legislative act that created the Quabbin Reservoir, the removal and reburial of graves from the Swift River Valley has always been an area of fascination and misunderstanding for many visitors to the area. Join us to discover the history and the process of how the state removed and reburied over 7,500 known graves from the Quabbin Valley.
Dogs are not allowed.
