Hingham Cemetery Tours ~ October 2024
Congratulations to our 2024 Hingham Cemetery Scholarship recipient, Katie Shoemaker! Katie is going off to Gordon College this fall. Best of luck, Katie!
The Hingham Cemetery Board Scholarship Award is an annual award and applications are available in the spring for any high school senior who lives in Hingham or attends Hingham High School.
When our grounds caretaker, Ron, had to step away temporarily in June, Chris and Nolan Swirbalus stepped in to save the day at Hingham Cemetery!
Maintaining the beauty of Hingham Cemetery is a big task, and we cannot thank these guys enough! Now, we need your help to keep our grounds looking beautiful. Please consider donating to support the upkeep of this historic cemetery.
Our thanks to all of you who have supported our efforts in reaching
our short- and long-term goals of preserving this lovely arboretum.
