The Artillery Park (also known as the Churchyard Cemetery) is an historic cemetery at North Road and Narragansett Avenue in Jamestown, Rhode Island. It is located at a high point on the southern part of Conanicut Island. It was originally laid out in 1656 as a burying ground and militia training ground, but appears to have only been used as a burying ground since the 1740s. When British forces occupied the island in 1776, there was a brief skirmish there, and the British afterward used the area as a military staging ground.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination for Artillery Park )〕 The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.〔 Image:ArtilleryPark-7660.jpg|Old section of the cemetery Image:ArtilleryPark-7651.jpg|Memorial to veterans of Jamestown, RI Image:ArtilleryPark-7665.jpg|American Legion insignia on gate of cemetery ==See also== *National Register of Historic Places listings in Newport County, Rhode Island 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Artillery Park」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
