The Community Historic Project Support (CHIPS) has been working hard to restore the 1903 caretaker cottage at Grand View Cemetery. As part of the group's efforts, they held the City of the Dead Cemetery Walk on Saturday, October 20, 2017. Several people attended the event, which featured stories about the lives of individuals buried in the cemetery, and many stayed to learn more about the historic caretaker's cottage.
We thank CHIPS and all their work to restore this historic building. To learn more about them, you can visit their Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/CHIPSWL
Please enjoy the video below featuring some memories of the event.
We would love to hear your memories, too! You can comment on this post, or email us at wlhrcenter@gmail.com.
WEST LAFAYETTE'S HISTORY began in the early 19th Century yet much of the town - now city's - history remains untold. Residents current and former are both welcome to contribute to this blog and to the Library's collection of West Lafayette Memories.
