Restoring Ohio’s Oldest Black Cemetery
Description
A historic Ohio cemetery for Black Americans is getting a major makeover thanks to a $750,000 National Park Service grant and additional support from Fifth Third Bank, which is matching donations up to $200,000 over three years. With headstones dating back to 1832, the United Colored American Cemetery in Madisonville has long been overgrown and hard to navigate — but now, new fencing, cleared paths, and better signage are making it easier to honor those buried here. This isn’t just restoration — it’s a powerful act of remembering and preserving Black history for future generations.
