Canton Corner Cemetery is among the oldest active burial grounds in the United States. What began as a modest one-acre 'Common Ground' has blossomed since its 1707 creation into a sprawling, artfully landscaped cemetery covering over 70 acres (26 currently developed). Three centuries of burial practices are on display, representing an evolution of religious, philosophical, and ethical beliefs. A wide spectrum of Canton's citizens are buried here; Paul Revere's family members and descendants rest in peace alongside Native Americans, notable industrialists, artists, inventors, patriots and common citizens.
