The Old Burying Ground is a historic cemetery on Pleasant and William Streets in Stoneham, Massachusetts. Established in 1726, it is the only surviving element of Stoneham's original town center, which also included a meeting house and school. It contains about 450 stones and fragments, with grave markers dating from 1728 to 1924.[2] The stones were carved with motifs that were fairly typical of the period including urns, willows, cherubs, and winged death heads.[3]
