Exploring Almost Forgotten Gravesites in the Great State of Ohio

Dedicated to cemetery preservation in the great state of Ohio


"A cemetery may be considered as abandoned when all or practically all of the bodies have been Removed therefrom and no bodies have been buried therein for a great many years, and the cemetery has been so long neglected as entirely to lose its identity as such, and is no longer known, recognized and respected by the public as a cemetery. 1953 OAG 2978."

REMINDER: UPCOMING WORK SESSIONS AT THE OLD BURYING GROUND IN GREENFIELD - SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 30 AND WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3. BOTH BEGIN AT 8:00A.M.!!

Here are reminders about two upcoming work sessions that are scheduled for the Old Burying Ground in Greenfield.  
If you are serious-minded about cemetery preservation and restoration in Ohio, please join the volunteers from the Greenfield Historical society who are working so hard to clean, repair, or reset gravestones and monuments at Greenfield's historic Old Burying Ground. 

The Old Burying Ground Restoration Project is in its 5th year, and the progress made is certainly evident!  
In my estimation, this is the longest ongoing full cemetery restoration project in the Great State of Ohio!
