Established in 1755, the Shirley Center Cemetery dates from the founding of the Town of Shirley, Massachusetts. Enclosed by a granite post and iron railing, the 5.86-acre cemetery features slate stones from the late 18th and 19th centuries crafted from local materials using unsophisticated designs and workmanship, revealing poignant details of the early life of a rural Massachusetts town.
