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."

Sharing a link to Eli Allen's "Wandering Appalachia" website and the addition of W.P.A. Cemetery Plat Maps for Scioto County, Ohio

It is exciting to learn about the W.P.A. Cemetery Plat Maps for Scioto County, Ohio being recently added to the highly informative website: 

"Wandering Appalachia" which was created by preservationist and historian Eli Allen.  Eli has extensively traveled and researched the history and hidden stories of the Appalachian region of Ohio and Kentucky. 

Eli has personally documented, photographed, and produced videos about a vast number of cemeteries throughout this historic area with Scioto County, Ohio being a main focus.
