For those into history, birding, or leisurely strolls not far from home, the Evergreen Cemetery offers the perfect spot in Portland's center. As the second-largest cemetery in Maine, the 239 acres offer extensive opportunities to explore a half-mile of trails cut around and through the wooded and immaculate lawns, with ponds providing opportunities for bird viewing. Established in 1855, the cemetery is even the resting place of important figures such as the late Governor Percival Baxter.
