Riverview Cemetery

Stones
and
schools
The Riverview Cemetery is a lovely old graveyard that had it’s beginning around 1800. It’s located on the Androscoggin River and does indeed have some pleasant water views. Most of the gravestones are simple but there are some modest obelisks scattered around.
For some odd reason the village schoolhouse was actually located within the boundaries of the graveyard and wasn’t moved to another location until 1904. The land where the schoolhouse once stood were then sold off as gravesites.
There are no more open sites for sale in the cemetery but there is a lovely, marble columbarium that has small spaces for urns that can be purchased.
RIverview Cemetery is beautiful, peaceful and unique old graveyard. After all, how many people can say they went to school in a cemetery.
