Why we are needed
Loudoun County has over two hundred heritage cemeteries including graves of African Americans enslaved and free, Veterans from the American Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, and the Civil War, as well as family cemeteries of the early residents of Loudoun County.
Collectively, these cemeteries contribute to the rich heritage of Loudoun County. They should be maintained in their original form and condition out of respect for the people who are buried there, and the family and friends who laid them to rest.
There are many individual cemetery restorations already underway in Loudoun County with well-organized strategies and personnel. The Loudoun Cemetery Conservancy will support their work and learn from it.
