Baby Cemetery

Baby Cemetery is an historic cemetery in Dedham, Massachusetts. The 3,000 square foot plot of land is located at the end of Pond Farm Road, near the border with Westwood.In 1863, Hannah B. Chickering established the Temporary Asylum for Discharged Female Prisoners on land that once belonged to Eliphalet Pond in Dedham. The halfway house served women who had left prison, and the children buried there were born to them. Many of the women, who were housed with men, were sexually assaulted while in prison.There are 11 small, oval stones made of marble marking the graves of children, but records indicate that at least two more were buried there. The oldest was two years and one day old, and most were less than one year old. All died between 1871 and 1882 and it has since closed. It is thought that there could be as many as 50 more bodies buried there, including some women.The land was purchased in the late 1940s by Joseph Stivaletta, a local developer. He discovered the graves and, rather than disturb them, set the land aside and did not build a home on it. When Massachusetts Route 128 was being constructed, Stivaletta convinced then-Transportation Secretary John Volpe to move the road rather than disturb the graves. Volpe's family came from the same small town in Italy as Stivaletta.Stivaletta died in 1956 and property taxes were not paid on the property, resulting in a lein being placed on the property in 1963. Neighbors cared for the property for many years, mowing the grass and planting flowers. The Town of Dedham was unaware of the cemetery's existence until alerted to it by a neighbor in 1991.Town Meeting voted to accept the cemetery in 1998 after being gifted the land from the Stivaletta family.

Norwood Central station
Norwood Central station

Norwood Central station is an MBTA Commuter Rail Franklin/Foxboro Line station located near downtown Norwood, Massachusetts. The station has two side platforms serving the two tracks of the Franklin Branch, each with a mini-high section for accessibility. It serves as a park-and-ride location for Boston's southwest suburbs; with 1,041 daily riders it is the busiest station on the line outside Boston. The former station building, a one-story yellow brick structure, has been converted to commercial use. The Norfolk County Railroad opened through South Dedham (now Norwood) in 1849. Dedham Middle station opened around 1852, and a small station building was constructed in 1865. The station was renamed Norwood Central in 1872. In 1875, the line became part of the New York and New England Railroad (NY&NE), which built its main shops adjacent to Norwood Central. The Old Colony Railroad opened its Wrentham Branch to Norwood in 1892. The New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad leased the Old Colony in 1893 and obtained control of the NY&NE in 1895. The New Haven eliminated an adjacent grade crossing in 1896 and built a new station structure in 1899, ending a decade-long controversy. As rail travel declined, Norwood Shops closed around 1930 and Wrentham Branch service ended in 1938. The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) began subsidizing service in 1966 and purchased the line in 1973. Under the MBTA, renovations to the station were made around 1977 and 1990. Along with Franklin Line commuter rail service, Norwood Central was a stop for Foxboro Stadium special events trains from 1986 to 1988 and 1995 to 2010.
