Burlington, IA- Aspen Grove Cemetery has been added to the National Park Service’s National Register of Historic Places.
Aspen Grove Cemetery director Michael Bloomer told the Burlington Beacon that the process to have the cemetery placed on the register began seven years ago, culminating with the nomination in April of 2022.
Only 40 cemeteries are among the 2400 places on the register in the state of Iowa.
The placement on the national register will assist Aspen Grove with receiving grant money to support upkeep and maintenance at the cemetery.
