Founded in 1872 by the Knights of Pythias and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, Riverview Cemetery is Wilmington’s historic Victorian garden cemetery—a peaceful, 42-acre green space that bridges both sides of North Market Street. Operated by the Friends of Historic Riverview Cemetery, Inc., a nonprofit organization, the cemetery remains active, affordable, and open to all—welcoming those of all economic, ethnic, religious, and social backgrounds.
