NPS-listed historic site associated with the Underground Railroad.

A historic site in Washington, Washington, D.C., a National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom listing, Mt. Pleasant Plains Cemetery at Walter Pierce Park is filed here for what the record attaches to it. NPS-listed historic site associated with the Underground Railroad. HauntHunt files it with dark history, Underground Railroad history and the Underground Railroad. The dossier holds 2 documented facts — a documented spine with no haunting reports attached. The site is open to visitors.

Mt. Pleasant Plains is the covered — the '8,428 buried' that's the count kept, the 'park above' that's the city forgot. The 'Pearl's people' is the held — the 'Edmonson brothers' that's the '48 attempted, the '77 aboard' that's the largest try. The 'headstones removed' is the stripped — the 'sold off' that's the 20th century, the 'graves remain' that's the soil kept.
The 'Mack's survey' is the found — the 'Howard team' that's the '05 blocked, the 'names documented' that's the dead restored. The 'Magruder' is the returned — the '1814 fled' that's the British joined, the 'Nova Scotia' that's the freedom found then came back. The 'Quaker beside' is the older — the '1807' that's the first ground, the 'two cemeteries' that's the park layered.
The file keeps Mt. Pleasant: the 8,428, the Pearl's families, the covered graves, and the names restored.
Mt. Pleasant Plains is the archive's D.C. file — the cemetery under the playground.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
Mt. Pleasant Plains is the archive's D.C. file — 8,428 graves beneath a city park.
A park keeps its dead — the file's suggestion being that Mt. Pleasant's hold is the buried: the 'Pearl passengers' that's the escapees rested, the 'stones removed' that's the erasure tried, and the 'survey '05' that's the memory fought back.
