Newman Cemetery Walk: Beyond the Beaten Path

As our summer reading theme says, let’s go “beyond the beaten path,” this time with a walk in Newman Cemetery. Join us for the program Newman Cemetery Walk on Saturday, August 6 at 10 AM. This program will meet at the entrance to Newman Cemetery, located at the corner of Pawtucket and Newman Avenues, across the street from the Newman Congregational Church, 100 Newman Avenue, Rumford, RI. Librarian Michelle Gario will introduce this self-guided tour with assistance from the Rhode Island Historical Cemetery Commission. Enjoy this educational exploration of a historical cemetery that was within Seekonk prior to the separation of East Providence in 1862 and deepen your appreciation for local history just next door.
