This is a photo I have planned for years. We walk our dogs in Evergreen Cemetery in Medway. A beautiful and historic spot, Founded in 1750, it contains many of Medway’s early families, as well as veterans of the American Revolutionary War and American Civil War. The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2021.
This soldier stands as you enter from Evergreen St and is a monument erected/dedicated by that local veterans’ organization to their fellow Civil War veterans. The stones on the hill are original plots dating back to 1750. I have always found how he stands guard over the oldest part to the graveyard to be noble.
