Historic burial grounds are vital elements of our cultural heritage.
They are usually the oldest surviving remnants from the early years
of a community and represent important social, historic, architectural
and archeological artifacts. Burial grounds are a vital link to the past.
Unlike traditional museums, these outdoor museums present a permanent
collection of rare three dimensional artifacts, some of which have remained
in place more than 300 years. these historic artifacts are a finite and
deteriorating resource that need preservation and protection from damage
by weathering, vegetation and vandalism, as well as deferred and inappropriate
maintenance Practices.
