Friends of the Oak Grove (FOG) Cemetery
worked together on the
planting of ten
new trees in the Cemetery on May 9,
2009. The planting was part
a planting effort that added new trees to the Cemetery to replace
older trees. The Oak Grove Cemetery is
one of Fall River's treasures. Built in the mid-1800s, this cemetery was one of
the first to be modeled on the park-like design of the
Mt. Auburn Cemetery
in Cambridge. It affords wonderful walking paths in a natural setting that
is quiet and undisturbed. In order to continue to replace older trees, the Friends of Oak Grove Cemetery
contributions from numerous
sources to
plant eighteen new trees in 2008. For more information about the Friends
of Oak Grove Cemetery or the planting effort, contact
Michael L. Keane.
