Three tombs were built on the slope of the hill of the original cemetery from 1836 to 1839 made from granite from Nobscot Hill. In 1842 the cemetery was enlarged in a northerly direction for the lot of Jerusha Howe who left money for an elaborate monument to mark her grave. Isaac Browne finally consented to sell additional land for cemetery expansion following the approval of Dr. Goodenough whose land abutted this area.
The cemetery is named Wadsworth for Captain Samuel Wadsworth, the leader of a group of 26 colonial soldiers who were massacred by the Indians near this location during King Philip's War in 1676. There was a monument erected in 1852 in remembrance for Capt S. Wadsworth, Capt. Brocklebank and Lieut Sharp in the cemetery. It sits at the end of the road and is surrounded by an elaborate iron fence and a granite post and wood fence.
This cemetery sits on 6.36 acres. The earliest death date is 1833.
The Massachusetts Historical Commission refers to this cemetery in MACRIS as SUD.803 Mount Wadsworth Cemetery.
