Laid out in 1637, the Old Burying Point Cemetery not only is one of the oldest cemeteries in Salem, Massachusetts but the United States, as well. Also known as the Charter Street Cemetery, it is the final resting place of many of Salem’s most notable residents.
Originally called the Salem Street Burying Ground, it was a private cemetery of the Wade family, acquired by the town of Medford in May of 1717. As evidence of just how old this place is, the earliest headstone is dated 1683, with the latest marked 1881.
The cemetery and its surrounding area were settled as a plantation that was then-owned by Matthew Craddock, the first governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. For 45 years the land was used as a private farm and plantation.
