The tour includes two colonial era burial sites, the Governor Arnold site and the Trinity Churchyard. The Arnold site is an excellent example of a family site that was common in 18th century Rhode Island. Governor Arnold was an influential person in the early days of the colony. This site was desecrated and then restored by Alice Brayton. The Trinity Churchyard is a quintessential English burial site. Buried together are patriots, loyalists, French soldiers and important church members.
