Park Street Cemetery 2012 Survey
This is a historic, city owned cemetery. It is no longer being used for burials. In November 2012 a SFASU Fraternity raised the funds to purchase markers for the previously unmarked graves. This cemetery was part of the 2009-2012 City of Nacogdoches Preserve America grant and additional information will be available on that project's website in 2013. The 2012 survey form is
