East Main Street Cemetery is the Town of Daltons oldest cemetery. It was used as a burial ground as early as 1781. That was three years before the town was incorporated. Many Chamberlain family members are buried there causing speculation that it may have started as a family burial ground. The Chamberlains retained ownership of the burial ground for 50 years and took in the burials of many Dalton settlers. Many of the early settlers buried here were prominent in town government. Some of the dwellings they built still stand; one being the oldest house in Dalton. In 1830, the Chamberlins passed the property on to the town of Dalton.

The cemetery sits on 2 acres. The earliest headstone death date is 1781 and the latest 1899. There are approximately 260 headstones.

The Massachusetts Historical Commission refers to this cemetery in MACRIS as DAL.801 East Main Street Cemetery and Chamberlain Family Cemetery.
