Nearly two centuries after the first organized effort at the Ancient Burying Ground, the work of preserving Hartford’s history carved in stone for future generations continues. Gravestones are conserved, preserved, repaired and replicated. Educational programs are offered to school groups and the public. Publications provide guidance for visitors interested in touring the graveyard. The physical site itself has been improved and upgraded.
An abundance of information about the Ancient Burying Ground, some of it centuries old, some the result of recent pioneering research, as well as updates on current projects and activities, is made available through web sites and databases on the Internet to a global audience.
How you can help
The funding for these ongoing activities comes from a wide variety of sources: government grants, philanthropical foundations, the City of Hartford.
