Elm Grove Cemetery resides in North Kingstown, Washington, Rhode Island. Also known as Rhode Island Historic Cemetery North Kingstown #26, the cemetery is overseen by the town of North Kingstown. Elm Grove is a large cemetery which has reinterments dating from the 1690s. The cemetery is still active at present.
"Elm Grove Cemetery was founded in 1851 as the first public cemetery in the town. Elm Grove is far more than the Victorian cemetery one might expect; many earlier North Kingstown graves, even whole family cemeteries, were moved here from privately owned lots around the town as the land was developed.
