Event Details

Come learn about the history of cemeteries and burial grounds with the Washington County History & Landmarks Foundation.

What is the meaning of the symbols carved into headstones.  Where did cremation begin? What is the significance of mausoleums and crypts. Are there private burial grounds in Peters Township. Help us locate ones we may have missed.

Washington County History & Landmarks Foundation was incorporated in 1973 as a non-profit educational institution to encourage the preservation of historic structures. It has been instrumental in locating, identifying and listing properties for its own landmark certification program as well as listing individual structures and districts on the National Register of Historic Places.

Since its inception, the foundation has been successful in helping many historic building owners in the preservation of their structures. Advice and referrals are only part of our mission.
