Daddy Frye's Hill Cemetery founded in 1728, is a historic cemetery at East and Arlington Streets in Methuen, Massachusetts.

The cemetery is more commonly known as Meeting House Hill, so named because on this site was erected the first Meeting House 1728-1796, the Second Meeting House 1798-1832. This building was removed in 1832, and replaced by the present stone church in 1855, which retains some of the timbers from the 1796 structure. Afterward the hill became more commonly known as Daddy Frye's Hill, for Jeremiah Frye, who kept a large tavern on the northwest corner of the intersection of East and Brook Streets.^[2]

Here lies buried the founders of the Town of Methuen and the first Minister Reverend Christopher Sargent. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places January 20, 1984.
