Milton Cemetery

Milton Cemetery is a historic cemetery at 211 Centre Street in Milton, Massachusetts. Established in 1672, it is the town's only municipal burying ground.

It was founded in 1672 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. Among those interred in the cemetery are:
