DeKalb 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. Hello my
name is Kathleen Hamman and I am the Indiana PCRP
Coordinator for DeKalb County. If you have any questions
or comments about the project, please e-mail
me. If you would like to adopt an Indiana County for
this project, please contact our State Coordinator, Scott
Satterthwaite.
