Beyond the Ships' Lists: St. Peter's Cemetery - Walking Tour

An engaging walk to learn about some of the Peter Robinson Emigrants and their Descendants who are laid to rest in St. Peter's Cemetery.

In 1859, thirty-four years after the emigration, St. Peter’s Cemetery opened for burials and has served the Catholic community in Peterborough City and County ever since, becoming the final resting place of some of the Peter Robinson emigrants and their descendants. On this tour, you’ll learn their names, their stories, and the overall impact their legacy has had on our region in the 200 years since their arrival.
