Historical Society hosts tour of significant local cemetery
Arborist and cemetery historian Chris Fletcher will lead visitors through one of the most historically significant cemeteries in the area this weekend as the Bristol Historical & Preservation Society hosts a walking tour of Juniper Hill Cemetery.
The tour is scheduled for Saturday, July 1, at 10 a.m., beginning at the stone gates on Sherry Avenue. The tour will walk through the winding lanes of Juniper Hill's National Register cemetery landscape, which is significant for its mid-19th century ornamental design. Inspired by early Victorian romantic notions of nature, art, and death, the peaceful setting with long views to Bristol Harbor contains a wide variety of specimen trees, including linden, juniper, beech and oak.
The tour costs $10 or $5 for members of the Bristol Historical & Preservation Society. All are welcome. Call 401-253-7223 or visit www.bhpsri.org for more information.
