Description

A historic cemetery dating back to 1896 is crumbling under neglect, holding the final resting places of veterans and Revolutionary-era figures — yet the township can’t afford to maintain it. With $35,000 spent annually just on groundskeeping and thousands more needed per headstone, restoration is a race against time. Records lost in a 1960s fire have left many, especially African American graves, unmarked and forgotten. Now, the community is rallying — calling on non-profits, historians, and donors to help restore, remember, and honor the stories buried beneath the soil.
