In May 2024, Mount Auburn opened four new walk-in entrances to expand public access to our beloved Cemetery landscape. The custom-designed arboreal themed gates along Mount Auburn Street in Cambridge and Watertown are open to the public 365 days a year to make our historic green space and active cemetery more welcoming and accessible to over 200,000 visitors we see each year. Now, Mount Auburn seeks to further expand access to the Cemetery by introducing two new Pedestrian Entrances along our Grove Street perimeter. An anonymous donor has approved a 1:1 matching grant in the amount of $175,000 to support this transformative update! These matching funds must be raised by October 2025; we hope you will consider a gift to make this thoughtful access project a reality.
