The Old North Cemetery is the oldest cemetery in Truro, Massachusetts. The cemetery, formerly the Old North Graveyard, was established in 1713 on the Hill of Storms where the first church in Truro was built in 1709. It remained the town's only cemetery until 1799 when the Pine Grove Cemetery was established. Old North is on US Route 6 between Aldrich Road and South Highland Road. Many individuals associated with Truro's early development are buried here, as are ship's captains. When originally laid out, the cemetery was about 3 acres (1.2 ha) in size; it was expanded in 1926 and again in 1974 and is now 5.8 acres. The oldest part of the cemetery is its northernmost section, abutting Aldrich Road. As of 2022 there are approximately 1,670 burials in the cemetery. Over half of those buried in the original "Old Stone" (north) section were less than 50 years old when they died. The cemetery was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2013. (en) |
