Forest Hill Chapel Preservation 2024

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.

Our kickoff fundraising event was amazing.
Thank you to everyone who attended and donated.
We plan on having another showing in the spring for those who
wish to see it (or see it again!)
Many thanks to Mike Mohun, Philip Mohun and Jack Cunningham,
along with friends and family who volunteered for the evening.
We also wish to thank Attica High School for allowing us to use the venue,
and Mr. Spink especially for his much appreciated help

Forest Hill and ALPS have reached an agreement to work together
to raise the funds needed to not only restore the Chapel, but to also have
a fund for upkeep and future maintenance. 
Winterizing has been done, and work will begin in the spring.

We have raised another $15,000 in the past week since the
documentary showing! We still have a way to go and the
response so far has been astounding. Thank you!

Thank you
