More information about the burial grounds and how you can help can be found at the Danvers State Memorial Committee website: http://dsmc.info

If you think condos are bad, plans are to turn another old state hospital site into an amusement park!

Sorry to double-post, but I couldn't figure out a way to add onto the old one. Anyways, I was thinking that if the graves there were simply marked by numbers, who knows how many unmarked graves there are? Danvers is a burial ground, a resting place. I just wish it could be preserved and turned into a musuem detailing the history of such institutions and treatment methods, serving as a memorial to all those who suffered under their walls.

Prolly won't do anything, but I feel good knowing I tried.

Avalon Bay plans to re-use the central 1/3 of the Kirkbride building for apartments; everything else will be razed for condos (except the cemetaries).
