MEN OF KENT CEMETERY SCITUATE, PLYMOUTH COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS Directions: Going North out of Scituate Harbor, you will come to a stop sign, which is the intersection of Edward Foster Rd., Kent Street & Front Street. Go straight through this intersection past the St. Mary's Church to Meeting House Lane, which is a right turn off of this street. The street sign is hidden by a tree so you will have to watch closely. This is a short street and you can't miss the cemetery which is on the left side of the road. It took us hours to find this cemetery and we had to ask directions several times, but it was well worth it. It is a wonderful cemetery and in good condition considering the age. ************************************************************************************************* USGENWEB ARCHIVES NOTICE: These electronic pages may NOT be reproduced in any format for profit or presentation by any other organization or persons.
