Nemasket Hill Cemetery "Stroll Thru History"

On Sunday, May 30, the Nemasket Hill Cemetery Association will be sponsoring its second annual "Stroll Thru History" from 1pm to 3pm at the historic Nemasket Hill Cemetery on Plymouth Street in Middleborough.

Last year, "the stroll offered pamphlets that allowed visitors to walk a self guided route in the cemetery which noted types of gravestones, gravestone engravings and notable Middleboro residents. The stroll was well received with more than 100 visitors on a drizzly day".

This year looks to be equally popular. Mark your calendar so as not to forget to take part in what promises to be an informative and enjoyable stroll through Middleborough's oldest and arguably its most picturesque cemetery.
