North Burial Ground

North Burial Ground

Le North Burial Ground est un cimetière de 0.45 km2 situé à Providence (Rhode Island), construit en 1700.

Providence ne possédait aucun lieu de sépulture jusqu'en 1700 (64 ans après sa fondation) du fait que les institutions religieuses et gouvernementales étaient rigoureusement séparées depuis la création de la ville par Roger Williams en 1636. Avant la création de ce cimitière, les gens étaient enterrés dans les terrains familiaux ou les fermes.

Il figure depuis le 13 septembre 1977 au National Register of Historic Places.
