The Blackinton Cemetery, nestled on Massachusetts Avenue, is one of the oldest burial grounds in North Adams, originally part of a 100-acre farm owned by Deacon Otis Blackinton. Established in the 18th century, it serves as the final resting place for many early settlers and their descendants, reflecting a rich tapestry of the region's industrial heritage.

Over the years, the cemetery has faced challenges in maintenance, particularly after most relatives of the deceased moved away. Community efforts have revived interest in preserving this historical site, with volunteers actively engagement in cleaning and restoring headstones, ensuring the legacy of the Blackinton community endures.
