Collection Summary

Title Cemetery Advisory Board, Records
Dates (Inclusive) 1975-1978
Abstract This collection consists of materials related to the Colorado Springs City Cemetery Advisory Board. It is unclear from the materials how long this agency existed, but these materials cover the years 1975-1978. The bulk of the materials deal with two main issues: 1) the perceived decline in appearance of the Evergreen Cemetery after it was taken over by the Park and Recreation Department, and 2) the decision to make Pioneer (Mesa) Cemetery a park.
