The expansion of the cemetery like other cemeteries in New England during the mid-1800s was laid out to emulate the romantic English landscape style of large country estates. Also typical of the era, the name of the new burial ground became known as "The Center Cemetery", unlike the use of the older term burial ground. The Soldiers Lot near the rear (southwest) section of the 1860 cemetery contains a rifled gun donated by Congresswoman Edith Nourse Rogers. The cemetery was again expanded in the 20th century to the east with lineal rows of graves, separated by gravel drives.
This cemetery sits on about 10.00 acres. The earliest death date is 1796. It is still in use today.
The Massachusetts Historical Commission refers to this cemetery in MACRIS as TEW.802 Tewksbury Centre Burial Grounds.
This cemetery is referred to as GR2 Tewksbury Cemetery in the "Vital Records of Tewksbury Massachusetts to the end of the year 1849."
