Geocache Description:

A quaint, old cemetery divided into two parts (north and south) and dating from the mid-1800s.


The Oak Grove Cemetery is a historic cemetery on Parker Street in New Bedford, Massachusetts. It consists of two parcels, separated by Parker Street, northwest of the city's central business district. The older portion of the cemetery, that south of Parker Street, was established in 1843, while the northern section was acquired and developed between 1870 and 1896. Most of the cemetery is laid out in the then-fashionable rural cemetery style of winding lanes, although the northernmost section has a more open layout, made partly due to complaints about the cluttered nature of the rural cemetery style.

Due to the location's name being identical to another cemetery in Fall River, Massachusetts, there are individuals who mistakenly believe that the notorious Lizzie Andrew Borden is buried here. Sorry, she is not here!

You are looking for a rock devious cache tucked into the wall of the south side of Parker street. DO NOT MOVE ANY ROCKS OF THE STONE WALL! Peek in and you should see it. Not much room for swag, but if it's tiny enough, go for it!

Since this cache is not far from New Bedford High School, stealth is heavily encouraged!! If you see any garbage or other debris around, feel free to do some CITO! Also, BYOP.
