Restoration
Project
The Indiana Pioneer Cemeteries
Restoration Project was begun in October 1997 as an effort to generate public
awareness about the neglected pioneer cemeteries of Indiana.
The state of Indiana is home to
thousands of abandoned or neglected cemeteries, the oldest of which now approach
200 years.
The goal of this project is to
restore and preserve as many of these cemeteries as possible.
This project was founded on the
belief that we owe our pioneer ancestors a better monument than
a forgotten grave amid bramble
and thicket.
