5 Cemeteries in Cambridge That You Shouldn't Miss

April 2, 2022 Dorsey Hagwood

Cambridge might be best known for its university, home to some of the world’s greatest minds (Milton, Darwin, Hawking, etc.). But there’s a vibrant theater and arts scene here as well, and you’ll find fantastic contemporary restaurants mixed in with traditional pubs. Climb the tower of Great St. Mary’s Church for sweeping views of the city.

Cambridge American Cemetery and Memorial

At Cambridge American Cemetery and Memorial, we commemorate the service, achievements, and sacrifice of 10,000 American military service members and civilian volunteers who fought for freedom during World War II (WWII). This is one of 26 overseas American national shrines managed by American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC), which is America's preeminent sentinel of memory. Come visit this pristine memorial near Cambridge, and learn of America's experience in the UK from 1942-1945. The visitor experience will reveal the true depths of our "Special Relationship."

This is a fitting tribute to all those people who gave their lives and to read some of their stories of heroism and complete disregard for their own lives to save others is beyond words, the cemetery is immaculate and truly spectacular. A fitting tribute to the Americans who came to help us.
