Henry Seawell Family Cemetery

Hidden in plain sight on a grassy hillside in downtown Raleigh, the crumbling stone walls of this abandoned 1835 family cemetery form a perfect square that is mostly overlooked by passing drivers.

The move: Hunt down this hidden-in-plain-sight relic at the corner of Booker and Hill Street, where you can examine the ancient stonework that has survived decades of urban development.
