Winchester, VA
Orrick Cemetery is a historically black cemetery that’s over 100 years old. It was named for Robert Orrick, who donated much of the land.
Across the street is the Calvary Pentecostal Church of God. I was not able to find a history of the church.
In downtown Winchester, there is a historical marker in front of the home of Robert Orrick who was born enslaved but established a successful business in Winchester.
...this cemetery looks so much better than many black cemeteries in the south.
