The Assonet Burying Ground is the main public cemetery for Freetown, Massachusetts.

Prior to becoming a cemetery, the land occupied by the Assonet Burying Ground was used as a military musterfield for the southeastern Massachusetts area.

The entrance to the cemetery is on South Main Street, marked by two stone gates erected sometime prior to 1954.

Near the entrance to the main cemetery is an abandoned receiving tomb, built of granite into the side of an earthen mound in 1892.

East of the receiving tomb is a brick mausoleum, and on the northern edge of the cemetery is a tool shed built prior to 1910.
