The Friends of the Dalton Historic Cemeteries (FDHC) is a volunteer-run organization dedicated to the research and preservation of three historic cemeteries in Dalton, Massachusetts. The cemeteries have been in continuous use since the early 18th century, when the town was first settled. The cemeteries are located on Main Street, North Street, and West Street and are a testament to the history of the town and its residents.

The FDHC was founded in 2008 with the mission of maintaining, preserving and protecting the three cemeteries and their monuments. They are committed to providing access to all visitors and researchers, and strive to ensure that the cemeteries remain open to the public. They also work with the local government to ensure that the cemeteries are properly maintained and that any changes or improvements are done with respect for the history of the cemeteries and the people buried in them.

The FDHC also works to promote education and understanding of the cemeteries and their history, and to preserve the memories of those buried in the cemeteries. They host events throughout the year, such as grave-cleaning days, lectures, and family-friendly activities. They are also active in the local community, working with other organizations to promote the importance of historic cemeteries.

The Friends of the Dalton Historic Cemeteries are dedicated to preserving the history and memories of the town and its residents, while providing a safe and welcoming space for visitors and researchers.
