SCENIC LOCAL WALKS
Portsmouth, NH
Kindly to dogs, gentle underfoot, the ancient meandering cemetery was established
in the late 1700s. Today it is a favorite spot among Portsmouth residents.
Name: South Cemetery
Location: Corner of South & Sagamore, Portsmouth, NH
Details: Just a very few parking spaces, but more at Little Harbor School nearby
Resources: Just a nice place to stroll, historic tombs. Sheep grazing across the street.
School playground nearby.
Rules: Open dawn to dusk, technically posted until 6:30 pm.
Dogs: Okay on leash.
Web Site: City of Portsmouth
Technically there is no South Cemetery. It is the name given to the huge collection
of five Portsmouth cemeteries, public and privately owned, so large that there
is a pond in the center. The Griffin family keeps the grounds immaculate, making
it among the most morning or evening walks in town.
The extensive area includes -- Auburn Cemetery, Cotton’s Cemetery, Harmony Grove
Cemetery, Proprietors’ Burying Ground and Sagamore Cemetery. Joggers trek down
the grassy and rocky lanes that stretch between South Street and Little Harbor
Road, with Sagamore and the saltwater inlet on the opposing sides. A thin path
near the center leads to the estuary across from Little Harbor school.
Among the more famous tenants of the cemetery are Ruth Blay, the first and only woman hanged in the state of New Hampshire, who was executed
on this very site. Robber baron Frank Jones has the tallest tomb stone. History buffs will also find the author of Brewster’s Rambles About Portsmouth, newspaper mogul FW Hartford, 19th century comic actor Henry Clay Barnabee, Portsmouth furniture make Langley Boardman, Revolutionary War veteran George Fishley and two victims of the 1873 murders on Smuttynose Island. Plot records are available at the Portsmouth Public Library.
But you don’t need a map to enjoy the tranquil beauty
