Rye African-American Cemetery
Endroit
The Rye African-American Cemetery, also known as African Cemetery, is a historic cemetery on North Street in Rye, New York. It is located next to the southwest portion of Greenwood Union Cemetery, and was established as a burying ground for local African-Americans in 1860 through a donation of land by the Underhill family with the intent that it “shall forever hereafter kept, held and used for the purpose of a cemetery or burial place for the colored inhabitants of the said Town of Rye, and its vicinity free and clear of any charge".
