Friends Burial Ground is a historic Quaker cemetery in Baltimore, Maryland, United States. It is the earliest cemetery in Baltimore, established in 1713, and 2.8 acres (11,000 m2) in size. It contains a total of approximately 1,900 small, simple grave markers, arranged in compact rows interspersed with large trees. The graveyard is surrounded by a fieldstone wall 8 feet (2.4 m) high, built in the 1860s, now covered with moss, roses, and ivy.[2]
Friends Burial Ground was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.[1]
