The Old Burying Ground preserves Westfield’s early community cemetery on Mechanic Street.
Historic gravestones and the compact burial landscape offer a place to explore the town’s earlier generations with care and respect.
Use current city information for the public approach, conservation work and any access restrictions. The photograph shows an earlier view across the cemetery rather than a guided tour taking place today. Avoid touching, rubbing or climbing fragile stones, and keep to suitable walking routes. Organized historical interpretation follows separate arrangements from viewing the grounds independently.
