Salem’s Charter Street Cemetery Closing for Landscape Restoration

Closure anticipated June-October 2020

SALEM – Pursuant to a vote of the Salem Cemetery Commission that took place on May 14, 2020, the City’s historic Charter Street Cemetery will be closed to the public beginning June 1, 2020 for landscape restoration and improvements. The project includes installation of new pathways, lighting and perimeter fencing, and restoration of the iron fencing along Charter Street and the retaining wall along Liberty Street.

During the project, no large mechanical equipment will be allowed in the site due to the fragile nature of the cemetery’s historic resources. The project is expected to last approximately six months and during this time the cemetery will be closed to the public, but the City will continue to maintain the site.

For more information about the project, please visit www.preservingsalem.com or contact Patti Kelleher, Preservation Planner at pkelleher@salem.com.

This project is funded in part with Community Preservation Act Funds and a grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Council Facilities Fund.
