CommentLocated on the western edge of the North Burial Ground between it and Interstate #95. This cemetery was started in 1786 on Olive Street in Providence. In 1857 it was moved to its current site on the grounds of the North Burial Ground. There is a Quaker document at the RI Historical Society describing the removal of the bodies from the original burial ground.
