Comments:

When visiting you may notice that the property doesn’t look the way other burial grounds look. Quakers were discouraged from using headstones or grave markers and didn’t begin to do so until the late 1800s. It was thought to draw excessive attention to oneself and seen as inconsistent with the plainness of our Principles and Practice.
