Western Cemetery was the primary burial ground for Portland in the mid-19th century. It was the burial ground for the first Irish famine immigrants, among others. For many years, it was neglected and vandalized. Today it is a story of restoration and the uncovering of the story of the lives of the people of 19th century Portland.
