Presented by the Friends of the North Burial Ground, with support from the Providence Parks Department and the North Burial Ground Project at Rhode Island College, the theatrical and historical event will take place from 4-7 pm.

Your tour guide will lead you by lantern light on a walk from grave to grave at dusk and you’ll listen to stories of the lives (some long, some short!) and deaths (some natural, some violent!) of a number of residents of the cemetery.

If you attended this event last year, you’ll be pleased to know that a few old favorites from last year will be joined by a number of new characters—we continue to “unearth” new stories! The tour content and themes are aimed at an adult audience. Families, however, are welcome on the tour, using their own judgment as to whether the content and setting are appropriate for their children.
