The Old Parish Cemetery in Norwood, MA, is a historic burial ground that dates back to 1741. Originally established when the area was known as the Second or South Parish of Dedham, the cemetery served the primarily Congregationalist families of the homogeneous settlement. As the cemetery reached capacity, the Highland Cemetery was opened in 1880, and today, the Old Parish Preservation Volunteers work tirelessly to preserve and enhance this important historical asset.
Located on Washington Street, just north of the Norwood Town Hall, the Old Parish Cemetery is a testament to the town's rich history and heritage. Situated on a steep, uninhabitable piece of land called Sandy Hill, the cemetery holds the remains of early settlers and offers visitors a glimpse into Norwood's past. With its deep historical significance and ongoing preservation efforts, the Old Parish Cemetery is a cherished landmark in the community.
