Description
In every town and outport in Newfoundland, down sideroads and ATV trails, up hidden paths, tucked between bushes, and perched on cliffs overlooking the surf, cemeteries are nestled against the wind, holding the names of the people who once made their homes on these shores. Often known to the locals but a mystery to visitors, the cemeteries of Newfoundland contains endless stories, imaginative imagery, and the history of trade and travel through the gravestones that reside there.
A Graveyard Guide to Eastern Newfoundland is a guidebook for those interested in exploring the island in a different way, seeking out the history and beauty of historic cemeteries. Off the beaten path, these sites are just the beginning for anyone interested in learning about the heritage of settlers and early communities that made these shores their home. Each site highlights the history of the community and burials, important people who lived there, and unique gravestones to look for when you visit.
So, get your boots and raincoats on, gather a snack and your sense of adventure, and get ready to experience parts of the province that you weren’t expecting.
