Brookfield Cemetery is an historic cemetery on Main Street (Massachusetts Route 9) on the west side of Brookfield, Massachusetts. Established in 1714, it is the town's only cemetery. It consequently holds the burials of many of Brookfield's founders and leading citizens, from the 18th century to the present, including those of neighboring towns that were once a part of Brookfield. The large granite entrance gate was built in 1873.

I have drive past this cemetery dozen and dozens of times. Most striking in the Arched entranceway and finally stopped to take a look around and do some history research.
