The colors are always vibrant at Glenwood Cemetery. I seem to always get cloudy days whenever I decide to snap some photos😊
Glenwood Cemetary in Maynard, Massachusetts, is a historic 23-acre municipal cemetery listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Dating back to roots in 1820, it became an early civic project following the town’s incorporation in 1871.
Built with a geometric circular grid in the “garden cemetery” style, it originally served as both a public park and a burial ground where residents gathered for carriage rides and picnics.
It features the prominent 1888 Maynard family tomb, built by town namesake and Assabet Mills founder Amory Maynard.
It holds over 6,000 graves, including 54 Civil War veterans and numerous early community leaders.
