Zion Hill Cemetery Restoration Project
Tax deductible
In partnership with Columbia Borough, the Columbia Historic Preservation Society has acquired the stewardship of the historic landmark, Zion Hill Cemetery, to preserve and honor those forgotten people who played such a significant role in shaping the history of Columbia.
We are currently turning this site into a memorial park so future generations may visit to learn of the contributions made by these brave souls resting here. Our ongoing research into this forgotten history will recognize the many roles played by the residents of Columbia’s “Tow Hill” neighborhood.
The Columbia Historic Preservation Society is promoting this history with an emphasis on continuing research into the origins of Columbia’s importance and role in being the birthplace of the “Underground Railroad.”
The goal is to raise funds to install a memorial wall (to contain tombstones that have been mislaid throughout the cemetery). Replace wooden grave markers, install memorial benches, and install interpretation panels. Remove/replace dead trees, and redesign the parking area.
Let’s come together as a community to raise funds to complete this project.
