LOCATION

Barbara Mangum, President of Historic Somerville, Inc. will lead a one hour tour of the historic and rarely open Milk Row Cemetery, starting at 6:00 pm. Tucked between much larger commercial neighbors these fragile grounds offer a welcome oasis on the edge of Union Square. This very compact cemetery was founded in 1804 by Samuel Tufts on farmland that was once part of Charlestown. Come find out about whose buried here, the extraordinary monument dedicated to Somerville soldiers fallen during the Civil War, and recent municipal enhancements. Light refreshments at the end. Meet at the Cemetery's front gate at 439 Somerville Avenue, next to Demoulas' Market Basket. Rain or shine.
