Located on the corner of Rock Valley & Keyes Roads in West Holyoke, Rock Valley Cemetery is a small cemetery with some early burials dating from the 1700s. Located almost on the Southampton line, there may be some interest for people with connections in that section of Hampshire County. Long overlooked, this cemetery has recently been brought back from severe neglect, thanks to volunteer effort.
