Rhode Island Historical Cemetery

Rhode Island Historical Cemeteries is a dedicated organization focused on studying, restoring, and maintaining historical cemeteries across the 39 cities and towns of Rhode Island. Their mission is to preserve these sites as valuable templates of community development and to engage volunteers in documenting, researching, and caring for these important historical landmarks.

The organization encourages public involvement in reporting unmarked cemeteries, seeking permission from property owners, and documenting gravestones with respect and care. Volunteers are needed to help find cemeteries, take GPS readings, and contribute to the Historical Cemetery Database for the benefit of future generations.
