First Parish Burial Ground 1644

This sacred burial ground has so much history.    When we clean in there you cannot help but to stop and look at the grave sites.

First Parish Burial Ground and Clark Cemetery

On Saturday Clean Gloucester and The One Hour at a Time Gang went to clean the cemeteries off Centennial Avenue.  What an amazing piece of history we discovered.  The years on the Tombstones go back to before the revolutionary war, soldiers from the Continental Army and Civil War Veterans were put to rest in this sacred ground.  Late on Saturday afternoon had to go back and take some photos.  We as a community need to preserve these cemeteries clean and respected.
