Lakeview Chapel Open House 05/25/2024

From Preservation Burlington:

The Friends of Lakeview Cemetery (and Louisa Howard Chapel) were offered a very generous donation at the end of 2023, to be used for a project. Some time ago a lighting designer drew up a plan to enhance the experience in the chapel with better lighting, and complete work begun in an earlier renovation. That work had been stalled by the pandemic and, of course, expenses have risen. But a surprise donation -- from a donor with parents and grandparents buried at Lakeside -- now means that the improvements will happen, hopefully soon.

The details have lined up, funds have been received and now the city is drawing up the contract.

In celebration of this great news, and in honor of Memorial Day, Preservation Burlington and the Friends holds a Chapel Open House and cemetery walking tour.

Reinterment Ceremony for War of 1812 Soldiers 06/04/2022

From Preservation Burlington:

During the War of 1812, Burlington was used as a supply depot, campground, and major hospital site by the United States Army. Research shows that the military owned property in what is now the Old North End of Burlington between North Street and Pearl Street including Battery Park. The area was referred to as "Camp Burlington" and housed approximately 3,000 to 4,500 troops at various times between 1812 and 1815.

As a result of road construction along North Street by VTrans between 2002 and 2005, the remains of 20+ soldiers were excavated. In 2020, a housing construction project on Elmwood Avenue uncovered another 17 graves; 7 of the remains were excavated. An estimated 500 soldiers are believed to have been buried in Burlington between 1812 and 1815, and military records indicate that more than 550 soldiers died in Burlington. A columbarium and headstone have been placed by the City of Burlington in Lakeview Cemetery as the final resting place for the 30 exhumed soldiers.

The Army National Guard's Honor Guard perform the military funerary ceremony and the Agency of Commerce and Community Development Secretary Lindsay Kurrle accepts the flag on behalf of Vermonters.
