Goshen Center Cemetery is on Mollison Hill Road and off of Cape Street near the DAR State Forest. Take Route 112 off of Route 9. The cemetery is also called the Mollison Hill Cemetery. The cemetery is on an east to west axis as old cemeteries in Massachusetts are. The gravestones from 1776 to the 1830s should face with inscriptions to the west but here for the most part they do not do so especially in the first three rows of stones. Goshen was settled in 1761 and became a town in 1781. The oldest gravestones in the cemetery are from 1774. These gravestones would have faced the east and they still do. There is a few rows that have gravestones facing the west off to the right middle side of the cemetery. These have never been moved. The front of the cemetery would have held a hearse house that stored a carriage that was used only for burials. The midsection left has a barren area that was for a holding tomb. Used in the winter for coffins. There most have been a land purchase to make the modern section. The portion before the land drops off would have been a potters field for both babies and adults.
