Carter-Finley Stadium Parking Lot Burial Site and Cemetery 
Trinity Rd.
Raleigh, NC

Everyone in Wake Co. knows where Carter-Finley Stadium is located, across 
from the Hunt Horse Complex and the NC State Fairgrounds on Trinity Rd., 
but I will bet hardly anyone knows there is one single burial site and one 
small cemetery in the parking lot. A third cemetery has disappeared, probably 
the victim of the retaining wall fronting on Trinity Rd. where that cemetery 
once was located. I transcribed both burial sites.

Rd.,Raleigh, on the west side of the Fair Grounds, take Youth Center Rd. 1/2 
mile to Trinity Rd. Directly in front of you is Stadium Rd., the entrance to 
the parking lot of the stadium. Enter Stadium Rd.
