The Harmony Chapel and Cemetery are a historic church and cemetery in Harmony, Rhode Island, a village in Glocester.OverviewThe wood-frame chapel adjacent to the cemetery sits on US Route 44 west of Edgewood Drive. Built as a schoolhouse in c. 1830, it is one of the few Federal-style schoolhouses to survive in the state, and is probably the best-preserved of that period. It was later (by 1870) converted for use as a meeting house (free chapel) for villagers. Residents would occasionally hire ministers to speak and hold various Christian religious ceremonies.The cemetery behind the chapel was used as a private cemetery by the Steere, Smith and other local families until opened for public use in 1878.Notable burialsArthur Steere, businessman, politicianImagesReferences and external linksFriends of Harmony Village information and pictures of the chapelHarmony and Glocester Historical Information
