About

01 about

Within Buchanan County, there are over 150 cemeteries or burial sites. Some stand alone, such as the grave of William Wallingford in a field outside of DeKalb, while others cover huge swaths of land and contain tens of thousands of graves. 

​

What began in 2019 as an effort to accurately record the locations of these cemeteries has expanded. Within this project, you will find all things cemetery- maps, walking and virtual tours, histories of the cemeteries, and the stories of some of those buried within.
