THE PINE STREET
AFRICAN BURIAL GROUND
AND MUSEUM
Brief History of The Pine Street African Burial Ground
The Pine Street African Burial Ground was discovered in Kingston, NY in 1888 and then abandoned. Later rediscovered by the owner of the house on the land during a basement repair project.
Harambee, Inc was founded by Tyrone Wilson in 2005. KLT asked Tyrone to consider purchasing and stewarding the Burial Grounds located at 157 Pine Street in Kingston, NY. In 2021 the Deed was transferred to Harambee, Inc. after years of fundraising and building partnerships with KLT and Scenic Hudson.
Since then the land was surveyed by the department of Archaeology department of SUNY New Paltz, NY. The discovered confirmed that there were human remains buried in clustered patches.
A youth design team participated in the envisioning of an architected design for the burial ground area and the garden area for remembrance, reflection and cultural education.
The community gathered to Honor the Ancestors with a reburial Ceremony on the land. Learn More
