Subject: Cemetery Advocacy Meetings to be Held Around the State
Dear Cemetery Advocate and Preservationists:
State laws that govern archaeology, and will impact cemetery preservation, will change in
July. To notify the concerned members of the public about how these changes will affect
grassroots cemetery preservation work, the Indiana DNR Division of Historic Preservation
and Archaeology (DHPA) will host eight meetings around the state. The meetings will also
provide an opportunity to talk with DHPA staff members. In addition, we will be
discussing a proposed rule change related to non-scientific probing in cemeteries.
The meetings are open to the public. No reservations are required. All times are local
times.
Greencastle: May 15 - Putnam County Public Library, 103 E. Poplar St., 6 p.m.
New Castle: May 22 - Henry County Community Foundation, 700 S. Memorial Dr., 7 p.m.
Corydon: May 29 - Harrison County Community Foundation, 1523 Foundation Way, 7 p.m.
Warsaw: June 10 - Munson Building, 216 N. Lake St., 6 p.m.
Princeton: June 12 - Princeton Public Library, 124 S. Hart St., 6 p.m.
Fort Wayne: June 14 - Cinema Center, 347 East Berry Street, 9 a.m.
Columbus: June 14 - Jewell-Rittman Funeral Home, 3855 25th St, 3 p.m.
Lafayette: July 28 - Tippecanoe County Public Library, 627 South Street, 6:30 p.m.
While we tried to invite everyone, we may have unintentionally missed someone. We
encourage you to forward this on to other cemetery preservationists. All are welcome.
