Beautifully well kept historical cemetery. Visited a few times to pay respects while visiting Salem from Florida. As someone who is very into death history this was a must see.

This is a beautifully preserved cemetery. It shows an interesting part of history. We spoke to a staff member but I didn't get their name. They were incredibly knowledgeable about the cemetery as well as Salem in general.
