Bridge Street Cemetery Virtual Tour Go where the ancient pathway guides, See where our sires laid down The patriarchs of the town; Hast thou a tear for buried love? A sigh for transient power? All that a century left above? Go, read it in an hour. -Holmes Bridge Street Cemetery was established in Northampton in 1663. After the town voted that no more burials should take place next to the Meetinghouse, a portion of a ten acre lot on the far edge of town, known as the "minister's lott" at Pine Plain, was allocated for use as a burial ground. In 1680, the bodies of those previously buried were moved to Bridge Street Cemetery. Today, the cemetery encompasses approximately 20 acres. It is an active non-denominational city cemetery.
