Concord Prison Cemetery Interactive Map
The Concord Prison Cemetery is the burial site for the 217 forgotten men who died while incarcerated in the Massachusetts prison system between 1878 and 1996.
The site is about 100 yards wide, sloping down to the front, highway in the distance, and dominated by the white cross in the middle. The graves start at the bottom of the hill and number east to west, with ten rows, 20-25 to a row, uneven at the top amidst the trees, with the markers dodging the large roots. The markers are of standard design. Each is 8 inches by 11 in cement, with only the grave number from 1 to 217, no names.
