The Montgomery County Cemetery Inventory Project has been an ongoing effort by Peerless Rockville, Historic Takoma, and the Coalition to Protect Maryland Burial Sites to identify and document the county’s numerous burial grounds
The project’s purpose is to create a baseline of information so that decision-making is informed, actions can be taken and policies developed – all with the goal of protecting the county’s historic cemeteries for future generations.All cemeteries known to have ever existed in Montgomery County have been included even if the graves are known to have been moved or they could not be located. Their current status is clearly noted in the database. Every effort has been made to be as inclusive of every known burial place county-wide, including all religious denominations, enslaved, free black, and Native American. Due to the sensitive nature of their location, a separate database and GIS map of Native American cemeteries, prepared by County Archaeologist Jim Sorensen, is also included. If you desire access to this information for research purposes, you may make a request for consideration with the Montgomery County Office of Archeology at 301-840-5848. |
