City of Cayce Survey of Historic African American Cemeteries

Cayce

In November 2022, the City of Cayce initiated the City of Cayce Survey of Historic African American Cemeteries. This project started with a public meeting to gather input concerning cemetery locations and history. The archival research was conducted between January and April 2023 and concluded with a preliminary site visit to each accessible cemetery. The historic context, along with the results of the fieldwork, are integrated into a report describing the methods and results of the survey. The final report and a public meeting to reveal the survey results and recommendations to the community occurred October 3, 2023.
