Wesley Everest Gravesite

Centralia, United States · built 1919

The Wesley Everest Gravesite is a historic landmark located in a memorial park cemetery in Centralia, Washington and has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1991. The burial plot is that of Wesley Everest, a member of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) who was lynched in the aftermath of the 1919 Centralia Tragedy. The gravesite, located in a pauper's cemetery, is the only existing site remaining that is connected to the IWW's role in the event, also known as the Armistice Day Riot or as the Centralia Massacre.
