I absolutely loved spending my evenings here walking through the cemetery. It's well maintained and peaceful. I even made a friend. I mean she's a permanent resident but I loved what she had to say. Lovecraft's grave is here as well. The Pokémon gyms here are fantastic too.

We were lucky enough to visit on a sunny October morning and witness the stunning changing colours of the trees. Well worth a visit and has paths that even lead you down to the waterfront.

This seemingly endless cemetery on the East Side is a great place to come for some peace and quiet. The many winding and intersecting roads make it easy to get lost in here, especially since there are so many beautiful gravestones and obelisks throughout. There are a couple of paths that go down to the banks of the Seekonk River. It’s nice that they allow cycling here (only at “slow” speeds), as exploring the entire cemetery on foot would take hours.

Beautiful Walk. My photos from inside “expired?” and won’t show up because I took them a while ago but I drove through recently and decided I would rate it. Beautiful spot. Inside has stained glass.
