Part 2 of the Pine Grove Cemetery Tour meets at the Parkland Avenue entrance (128 Parkland Ave.). It includes the Civil War and the Spanish American War Burial Grounds, the sections of the cemetery developed after the 1850s. You’ll learn about still more renowned architects, sculptors and Lynn luminaries such as Elihu Thomson, founder of GE, Lydia Pinkham of Vegetable Compound fame, Civil War heroes and others forgotten by the present. We’ll address the myth and truth about the cemetery’s wall and so much more.
