Yet another find through geocaching. I’ve tried to find the name of this cemetery or even some history behind it, but I’ve come up empty so far. All I know is a factory and/or mill used to be nearby. I found no ruins other than the cemetery and some stone walls nearby. If I find any more info to post, I’ll do so.
The cemetery is very tiny and well hidden along the Pawtuxet River. Most stones are either flat on the ground or simply stumps.
One section of the river is inaccessible.
Where in West Warwick is this located?
He is wrong. That is not West Warwick. It is Coventry. This location is off Washington Street just past the Horizons Complex. It is accessible off the Coventry Greenway bike path just past the bridge.
I believe that cemetery is actually a privately owned one belonging to a nearby home.
Now, if you want a REAL abandoned cemetery, there is a creepy spot located in the woods on the corner of Lippett Ave and Hope Rd in Cranston. The whole intersection is creepy enough because it is the middle of nowhere, and there is nothing there but farms and fields. Even the telephone poles are coming apart over there. So, to find a long forgotten cemetery secluded in the woods there is plain eerie.
