Laid out in 1848 as a rural garden cemetery by Henry A. S.
Dearborn, Forest Hills Cemetery celebrates its 160th anniversary in
2008 as Boston's premier arboretum cemetery. Since the mid-19th
century, its 250 magnificent acres have been the resting place of
people of all walks of life, ethnicities, religions, and races.
Among these are poets Anne Sexton and E. E. Cummings, playwright
Eugene O'Neill, and abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison. Forest
Hills's landscape is a museum of sculpture, art, and monuments that
chronicles the Victorian age to the present. The first crematorium
in New England was here, and prominent Bostonian suffragette Lucy
Stone was the first person to be cremated at Forest Hills in 1893.
An active cemetery and an all-embracing place, Forest Hills offers
a bucolic and picturesque setting for the "gathering of
generations" and is listed on the National Register of Historic
Places.
Howard Johnson created an orange-roofed empire of ice cream stands
and restaurants that stretched from Maine to Florida and all the
way to the West Coast. Popularly known as the "Father of the
Franchise Industry," Johnson delivered good food and prices that
brought appreciative customers back for more. The attractive white
Colonial Revival restaurants, with eye-catching porcelain tile
roofs, illuminated cupolas and sea blue shutters, were described in
"Reader's Digest" in 1949 as the epitome of "eating places that
look like New England town meeting houses dressed up for Sunday."
Boston historian and author Anthony M. Sammarco recounts how Howard
Johnson introduced twenty-eight flavors of ice cream, the
"Tendersweet" clam strips, grilled frankforts and a menu of
delicious and traditional foods that families eagerly enjoyed when
they traveled.
