Hillside East cemetery,
located in the northern section
of High Street, holds a lot of
Eastport's heritage, from
sailors and their families to
British and American soldiers
and sailors, businessmen,
common men and women.
Reading the headstones and
enjoying the view can be very
interesting and relaxing. The
oldest gravestone dates from
1800 and is believed to have
been transplanted from
Robbinston. The cemetery has
been expanded several times
and was once a park. There
are three tombs above the
ground and used throughout
most of the 19th century.
Hillside West is across the
street. There are some sites
left to purchase as a final
resting place. The view from
the "mountain" behind the
cemetery is breathtaking.

Bayside cemetery is
located on Cemetery Road
off Clark Street. It is the
more modern of the three

also magnificent. All
records of the cemeteries
are kept at the City Room at
78 High Street and at the
cemetery supervisor's
office located the the top of
Hillside East on upper High
Street.
