Cemetery Preservation This page last updated August 24, 2003
The Indiana Pioneer Cemeteries Restoration Project was begun by Scott Satterthwaite 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 identify, protect, 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.
