North Cemetery (Worthington, Massachusetts)

North Cemetery is a historic cemetery in Worthington, Massachusetts. The 3.5-acre (1.4 ha) municipal cemetery is located at the corner of Cold and North Streets not far from Worthington Corners; it is the town's largest cemetery. The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004, for its funerary architecture and its role as the burial ground for the town's early settlers. Description and history North Cemetery is located about 1 mile (1.6 km) north of the Worthington Corners, the town's main village center, on the north side of Cold Street just west of North Street. About 2.5 acres (1.0 ha) have been formally laid out in a roughly rectangular shape. Three of the cemetery's four sides are lined with stone walls, setting it off from the surrounding woods and fields. Access is through three breaks in the wall, two of which provide vehicular access. The eastern two breaks are marked by granite posts about four feet high that bear evidence of having had gates mounted on them. In the southeaster corner of the cemetery is the remnant of a storage vault, which was used until the 1950s to hold caskets when winter conditions made interment impossible. The cemetery has over 700 markers, mostly of granite or marble. The most prominent grave is that of the Horace Cole family, which features a zinc obelisk erected in 1877. A number of the grave markers are made out of Goshen granite, quarried in neighboring Goshen. A small number of the grave markers bear marks of regionally known stone carvers. The cemetery's date of establishment is uncertain; its earliest grave marker dates to 1790. A number of the town's founders and early leading citizens are buried there. Graves are laid out generally with older burials in the lower (eastern) end, proceeding up the slope to the west, where 21st-century burials have been made.

North High School (Worcester, Massachusetts)

North High School (or Worcester North) is a public four-year high school and one of five public high schools in Worcester, Massachusetts, United States. The original North High was located on Harrington Way and was built in 1972 as a junior high school. It became North High in 1980 when the old North High on Salisbury Street was closed, sold to a private developer and subsequently turned into condos. There are approximately 1,300 students that attend North, which boasts a diverse student body. Non-Hispanic Whites make up 11 percent of the student body while Hispanics make up 34 percent. African-Americans comprise 47 percent and Asians make up 8 percent. The mascot of North High is a polar bear and the school colors are black and orange.

In March 2024, the boys basketball team claimed their second consecutive MIAA Division 1 Basketball State Championship. They completed the 2023-2024 season undefeated, finishing 24-0. North High's building was considered old and run down. The new building was ready for use in 2011 and is approximately 225,000 square feet (20,900 m2). The Worcester City Council gave the go-ahead to a new North High in 2000, when the cost was estimated at $5 million. But the project was slow to get off the ground while on the waiting list for a construction grant, while the State Department of Education and the State Treasurer reorganized the School Building Assistance Program. The ten-year delay and rising construction costs pushed the price tag of the new school to $8 million. The new building opened for the 2011–2012 school year. Demographics According to the Massachusetts Department of Education, the approximate demographic profile of North High School is as follows in the 2016-2017 school year: References

Richard McKinnon State Park

Richard McKinnon State Park, formerly North Point Park, is an 8.5-acre (3.4 ha) park located along the left bank of the Charles River on the border of Cambridge and Boston, Massachusetts, created as mitigation for the taking of planned parkland for the construction of the Big Dig. Description and history The state-owned park opened in December 2007 as North Point Park. The municipal boundary between Cambridge and Boston was historically approximately along the center of Charles River, but construction of the park moved the shoreline, putting part of the park in Boston. The park is part of the "lost half mile" of the Charles River, between the 1910 Charles River Dam, now the site of the Museum of Science, and the new Charles River Dam completed in 1978. The park opening was delayed for several years by a number of logistical and bureaucratic issues, but its design, including small islands, bridges and kayaking canals, has been characterized as "grand" and "ambitious" by the local press. The park was designed by Carr Lynch & Sandell of Cambridge and Oehme, van Sweden & Associates of Washington, DC. The park is adjacent to the ongoing NorthPoint real estate development project. Just upstream of the three new parks in the half-mile (Richard McKinnon State Park, Paul Revere Park, and Nashua Street Park) is the Paul Dudley White Bike Path in the Charles River Reservation. The Lynch Family Skatepark is located in Richard McKinnon State Park under the Interstate 93 highway ramps. In December 2025, DCR renamed North Point Park to Richard McKinnon State Park in honor of McKinnon’s decades of work that transformed the North Point area of Cambridge. Pedestrian connections Pedestrians and bicyclists may travel east from Richard McKinnon State Park to Paul Revere Park in Charlestown over the MBTA Commuter Rail tracks and the mouth of Miller's River via the North Bank Bridge that opened on July 13, 2012. This bridge, funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), allows pedestrians to traverse the north side of the Charles River basin. Pedestrian bridges are also planned over the Charles River from Richard McKinnon State Park to Nashua Street Park in Boston, and a South Bank Bridge over the MBTA Commuter Rail tracks on the south bank of the river from Nashua Street Park to the riverfront just upstream of the Zakim Bridge south tower, connecting the Charles River Reservation to Boston Harbor. A portion of the pedestrian and bicyclist path forms a segment of the Mass Central Rail Trail and the East Coast Greenway.

Northeast School

The Northeast School (or District No. 1 School) is a historic school building at 981 Summit Road in Richmond, Massachusetts. Possibly built as early as 1791, it is one of the oldest surviving district school buildings in the state. Now maintained by the local historical society, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. Description and history The Northeast School is located in a rural setting of northern Richmond, on the west side of Summit Road just west of its junction with Swamp Road. It is a single-story wood-frame structure with a gabled roof. The main portion of the building measures 24.5 by 23.5 feet (7.5 m × 7.2 m), and there is an extension on the north end that measures 16 by 16.75 feet (4.88 m × 5.11 m). The basic construction is post and beam, and the building received significant restorative work in the late 19th century. The exact construction date of the school is unclear, but is probably 1791. Town records indicate that a school building was standing near this road junction (known as Stevens Corners) in 1791, with no mention of earlier schools. No substantive repairs or reconstructions are recorded until 1802, when a stove was installed, and 1808, when additional repairs were ordered. The schoolhouse remained in use until 1937, when a new townwide school was opened. It was sold and used by farmer for storage and as a pighouse. In 1993 the Richmond Historical Society acquired the building, restored it, and moved it across the street to its present location. Of the town's six district schools built, it is the best preserved, and the only surviving one that has not been readapted for residential use.

It is 7.64-acre (3.09 ha) in size, and consists of roughly level ground, fringed with trees on the three sides not abutting the railroad tracks. The main entrance is at the southeast corner, and a narrow paved road provides a roughly oval circulation pattern through the grounds. The cemetery was established in 1686, and is Northfield's first burying ground. Northfield was abandoned twice, because of King Philip's War in the 1670s and King William's War in the 1690s, and was not permanently resettled until 1714. The gravesite of Zechariah Field, one of the 1714 settlers, has been identified in the graveyard. The cemetery continues in active use today, with more than 1,000 burial sites.

Norumbega Tower

The Norumbega Tower is a stone tower erected by Eben Norton Horsford in 1889 to mark the supposed location of Fort Norumbega, a legendary Norse fort and city. It is located in Weston, Massachusetts at the confluence of Stony Brook and the Charles River. The tower is approximately 38 feet (12 m) tall, composed of mortared field stones with a spiral stone staircase. There is no evidence, archaeological or otherwise, to support the assertion that there were Norse settlements anywhere in New England. Eben Norton Horsford was convinced that the Eastern Algonquian word 'Norumbega', which has been taken to mean the general region that is now coastal New England, was derived from 'Norvega', meaning Norway. A prominent stone plaque on the tower relates to Norse explorers from the Icelandic sagas. Horsford believed Norumbega to be Vinland, which he had no physical evidence to prove. The construction of the tower was accomplished four years before Horsford's death. Horsford's beliefs and tower influenced the naming of Norumbega Park, a well-known recreational complex located across the river in Newton that operated from 1897 to 1964. The addition of the tower also altered the way Americans viewed Norse history and its impact on North America.
