Attica Landmark Preservation Society is restoring 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 ALPS 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
