Welcome to Rock Ridge Cemetery—Sharon’s historic resting place at the junction of East and Mountain Streets, cared for by the nonprofit Rock Ridge Cemetery Association. Here, worn 18th-century stones stand beside newer markers; the earliest identifiable grave is Elizabeth Capen (1760), and veterans from every American conflict are honored across its tree-shaded hillsides. Rock Ridge is also the burial site of Deborah Sampson Gannett, the Revolutionary War heroine who disguised herself as a man to serve—an enduring symbol of courage and the often-unsung role of women in our nation’s founding. As both archive and living memorial, Rock Ridge preserves Sharon’s story while offering a quiet place for remembrance and reflection.
