Trollwood Park

North Dakota · United States · Cemetery

The park was built over a paupers' cemetery. Three small stone monuments mark where people were, and are, still buried.

Trollwood Park in Fargo, North Dakota is home to a performing arts school, and it was built over a paupers' cemetery.

Three locations in the park are marked with small stone monuments showing where people were buried. The original account puts it carefully and correctly: where people were, and in places still are.

That is the substance of this entry. A potter's field held those who died without money, without family or without anyone to claim them, and the graves were rarely recorded well enough to move.

What is reported in the park is consistent and centres on the areas around the markers.

A performing arts school for young people, running summer productions on ground that holds the unclaimed dead of an entire city, is an unusual combination and the students are aware of it.

The park is public and the markers can be visited.
