African Burying Ground MemorialMany in the community wondered how Portsmouth's African Burying Ground could have been forgotten. During the 1700s when the Burying Ground was actively used, the area that is now Chestnut Street was the undeveloped outskirts of town. Over time, as Portsmouth grew during the late 1700s and throughout the 1800s, the African Burying Ground was paved over and built over and many forgot about its existence. Today, we recognize this important place as the only DNA-authenticated African Burying Ground in all of New England that dates to this era. When the site was accidentally uncovered in 2003, the Portsmouth City Council appointed the African Burying Ground Committee and asked the group to determine how best to honor those buried on Chestnut Street. Completed in 2015, the location of this sacred place – like the City’s other places of burial – but with a public place of reverence on this block of urban downtown street, in perpetuity, so that we will never again forget those buried beneath.
