Tipton County Indiana Pioneer Cemeteries 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
pioneer 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. The idea behind the Indiana Pioneer Cemetery Restoration Project is not for the Coordinators to take charge of each Pioneer cemetery in the county, but rather to offer guidance and training to volunteers who would adopt a cemetery in the county as their project. Sometimes helping to do the restoration as well. Hello
I am Joan Wray and I am the coordinator of the Tipton County, Indiana If
you have any questions or comments about the project, please e-mail
