Welcome to Prince Hall Cemetery, a historic burial ground located at 52 Gardner Street in Arlington, Massachusetts. This cemetery is not only a resting place for many but also a significant piece of American history. Established in 1864 by Grand Master William B. Kendall of the Prince Hall Grand Lodge, the cemetery was created to serve as a Masonic burial ground for Black Americans, providing a dignified resting place for their loved ones during a time of limited options. The cemetery's origins date back to 1856 when Davis Locke sold the land to Kendall, who later deeded it to the Prince Hall Grand Lodge. Over the years, however, the cemetery fell into disuse and was nearly forgotten until its historical importance was recognized by the Arlington Historical Society in 1987. Thanks to the collaborative efforts of the Prince Hall Grand Lodge and the Arlington Historical Society, the cemetery was restored and rededicated in 1990. It has since been added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.
