Historical Marker Database

A short climb from street level leads into this small cemetery near the center of Springfield. Its memorial honors the patriots who fell in the battle of June 23, 1780, and the burial ground contains at least five Revolutionary soldiers’ graves and a vault with unknown soldiers' remains from the Battle of Springfield. The enclosed space offers a quieter counterpoint to the bridge crossings and military movements. Visitors can pause here after following the fighting through the town and consider what victory cost individual families.
