It was interesting to see all the old head stones and there was this really cool castle looking structure. There's also a nice pond in the middle and a Korea Memorial.

Established in 1668, the Eastern Cemetery is located at 224 Congress Street in Portland, Maine. The oldest historic landscape in the city, the cemetery is home to around 4,000 interred. Tours available through Spirits Alive, a non-profit organization dedicated to the protection and preservation of Portland's historic Eastern Cemetery.
This 4,000-grave, 5.3-acre (2.1 ha) cemetery overlooking the Old Port district and distant Casco Bay was the city’s oldest (established 1668). Time-limited parking was curbside. The cemetery had a single gate on Congress Street. A wrought iron fence (erected 1856) surrounded most of it. Many headstones were broken ruins or were illegible or both. Other gravestones noted soldiers and sailors who had fought and died in battles in Portland Harbor, such as during the War of 1812. The cemetery had no paved or dirt roads and no paths, but it did have a simple, grass-covered sunken road. It also had no water spigots, but it did have several kinds of shade trees. On one slope, grass among the headstones remained uncut. I liked all that I found on these sacred grounds; I disliked nothing.

Cemetery listed in the National Register of Historic Places is the final resting place of many famous politicians of the 18th and 19th centuries.
During the pandemic, a lot more people are taking jogs and strolls in cemeteries, especially this one. One of the most magnificent burial sites here is the Hugh Chisholm mausoleum, based on a Roman temple and one of the four most expensive mausoleums built in 1904. This cemetery is beautiful to visit at all times of the year, but especially in the spring when there are lots of ducks in the ponds and several bird species.
