Quidnessett Memorial Cemetery, a nonsectarian and nondenominational perpetual care cemetery, houses over 13,000 burials and spans from the corner of Post Road and School Street up to the railroad tracks near Frenchtown Road. Of its 125 acres, only 65 have been developed, leaving the rest as wooded areas untouched by society. Some of the oldest graves on the site were reinterred from Quonset Point during the 1940s when the base was being built up. Among its more well-known inhabitants is the inventor of the stapler and the original owners of Bostitch.
