Most of the grave stones are dated in the 17 and 1800's it's truly a wonderful place to take your time and read some of the stones. The Bristol Family's from Dewolfs and wardwells. I'm sure it would be a great learning experience to tour with a guide to find out about the history . There is also a beautiful view at sunset overlooks the bay in the winter where I have experienced amazing colors as the sun sets. It's definitely a trip to take.

Hidden gem alert!…read more Amazing stone structures greet you as you enter this stunning cemetery, but that is just the tip of the iceberg. I happened upon Juniper Hill while taking a brisk walk at lunch. I'm so glad I did! It's obvious that the caretakers love the property as every tree and stone is well cared for. Some of the tree species I have never seen before. Coming around the last bend, there are amazing views of the entire downtown area of Bristol. The sunsets must be amazing! I found out later that the caretaker offers historical tours, botanical tours and a special Halloween tour once annually! I will definitely be back for that!

A peaceful place…read more The Cedar Lane Cemetery was established in 1861 and was originally only one acre. But as people on the island insisted on dying, the non sectarian cemetery kept expanding until it's now almost ten acres It use to have a cool entrance on the west side but since the new highway was built the only way to really get into the graveyard is now from the south and Cedar Lane. The cemetery is very quiet and unassuming. Most of the memorials are small and modest, no huge obelisks or gigantic and ostentatious gravesites. Just very quiet reminders of who was here in days past.

They keep the grounds very clean here , and they don't just throw your precious decorations out immediately they allow your decorations to your loved ones to stay for a little bit. It's a little hard to navigate on your own for the first time , but if you go to the main office they will help you out give you a map or guide you. The chapels are beautiful ! I attended a burial here and it was very beautiful , they made a sad moment into something understanding and accepting. The family who runs this are very nice. The stones are very pretty and the upkeep makes me very happy. Cemetery's that are well kept are hard to find, but this one is one of them. There's a lot of water surrounding , if you do want to stay around and walk around ( I have numerous family members here. ) There's a church directly next to this site as well with its own lot, if you want to attend church.

Wars and rivers…read more The original Princes Hill Burial Ground was started way back in 1728 and was only a half acre or so. Just a place to put the deceased from the developing town of Barrington. It continued as the town's cemetery until it finally closed in 1994. The ancient graveyard contains over 3,000 residents including 26 veterans from the Revolutionary War, 62 from the Civil War and scores of others from various other wars and conflicts. The graveyard is located right next to the present town hall on a nice spot on the Barrington River and nice views of the river are possible from several places in the cemetery. Although the graveyard started out as only one half acre, it expanded several times throughout the centuries and now is a sprawling place that takes a while to walk through. Lots of different types of memorials in the graveyard but most tend to be modest. Of course some of the real old ones are now impossible to read and are slowly returning to the earth, the names and memories long forgotten. Princes Hill is a cool and fascinating ancient graveyard in a lovely location right on the Barrington River. A place where many of the town's veterans are buried and a cemetery that has seen a lot of centuries pass by.

Unfortunately, it is in a state of neglect and many of the historical tombs and stones have fallen to the ground or have been damaged. The Preservation Society has alerted the city about this and hopefully something will be done to bring this back to its former glory. Some of the history behind this historical cemetery, in 1834, the Grace Episcopal Church purchased more than four acres of land on the South side of Providence for use as a burial ground. By 1843, the site encompassed nine acres within the triangular-shaped, 8500+ plot cemetery at the intersection of Broad Street and Elmwood Avenue, the gateway to the south side of Providence. From its original inception, the cemetery was designed with great care and attention to detail. All of the burial plots were arranged symmetrically, in diamond-shaped sections separated by avenues named after trees. "Cemetery Square" occupies the center of the cemetery and is marked by a small, diamond-shaped area. Between 1859 and 1860, a house in the Gothic Carpenter style was built on the property to serve as a caretaker's lodge. This cemetery has great historical significance, as the backgrounds of many interred in the Grace Church Cemetery represent the growth and development of this section of the City of Providence. Various groups are represented, including mill workers, veterans of the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, as well as World Wars I and II, political and church leaders, and representation from the Armenian community. An independent archivist has estimated that there are 256 veteran burials in Grace Church Cemetery.

A lovely old…read morecemetery The Hillside Cemetery is located on an inlet of the Sakonnet River in the quaint old town of Tiverton, Rhode Island. A lovely place for a walk with distant views of the river and some nice rolling hills. The cemetery is quite huge with both new and very old parts. The oldest graves date back to the 18th century and of course there are others that look older but are now impossible to read. Lots of very cool and unique memorials and gravestones complete with unusual and archaic names and symbols. Some of the stones still look new and fresh while the softer stones are sometimes broken and worn down to virtually nothing. Hillside is a lovely old cemetery in a lovely old town. Many old graveyards have a spooky and morbid feel to them but not this one. I wouldn't exactly call it cheerful but it is a beautiful and historic area and a very nice place for a very peaceful stroll.
