Cherry Lane Cemetery on Cherry St., Springfield,MA
Runs from Mill St. to Central St.
I took this photo Sept. 18, 2000. Not in good condition. The original iron Colonial style gate is missing. The left post shows the established date of 1826. The right post is broken and the top piece is laying on the ground inside the entrance. The right post has the date 1932.
Dirt path as you enter, with the tree roots raised up making a slight incline and the roots have raised some of the smaller grave markers to the left.
The old wooden plaque has nothing on it. It may have haad the name of the cemetery on it.
There used to be a Baptist church next to this cemetery.
This is a resting place of Heroes of 1776.
Bodies of three Revolutionary soldiers and a Civil War veteran are buried here, as well as their families.
Run by the City of Springfield and the George Washington Chapter, Sons of the American Revolution, as an abandoned burying ground.

Grave stones very unreadable Also covered in dirt and grass
