More on the

Forest Hill Chapel Preservation 2024-2025

Attica Landmark Preservation Society  is raising funds to restore the historic
Chapel in Forest Hill Cemetery.

The Chapel was built in 1902, before funeral homes
were available, to provide a place for funerals and
memorials to take place in the beautiful Forest Hill Cemetery,
and indeed, was built to be a focal point of the cemetery.

The local GAR (Grand Army of the Republic) is said to have requested the Chapel to overlook the graves of our Civil War veterans, and bestow a place to honor them with military funerals.

Indeed the graves of our many veterans surround the Chapel to this day.

It has been used for community gatherings, weddings,
and other social events such as Memorial Day, Veterans Day celebrations
and much, much more.

The money received will go toward restoration of the building
and towards maintenance costs to preserve the structure
for future generations to enjoy. It is a cultural icon of the Attica and
surrounding communities, and the loss of such a one-of-a-kind
historic building would be devastating to one and all.

Any donation is welcome, and please share our website page
to reach a wider audience.

 

 


We have raised money to a new milestone! We still have a ways to go.
Also: your bottle donations to Bengos bottle return are still bringing
in much needed $$.  Please take your bottles to Bengos (inside) and
ask for the return slips. Mark it for Attica Landmark and your
donations will come to us!!
Thank you!
