About this property

The Blossom Hill and Calvary Cemeteries are a pair of adjacent municipally owned cemeteries on North State Street in Concord, New Hampshire. Blossom Hill, a 19th-century cemetery designed in the then-fashionable rural cemetery tradition, was always a municipal cemetery; the Calvary Cemetery was established by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Manchester, whose oversight area includes all of New Hampshire. The Calvary Cemetery was taken over by the city in 1996; its earliest marked grave dates to 1857. The cemeteries were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.
