Enter with reverence. This graveyard is old and was once almost forgotten.
Wyatt Chapel Cemetery is thought to contain the graves of over 2,000 black slaves and itinerant workers associated with the Liendo and Alta Vista Plantations. As was the custom of the day, most of these burials were never recorded or marked. Some burials occurred during the first half of the 20th century, but this cemetery fell into disrepair and was later abandoned. In recent years this area was primarily used for the dumping of trash and undisposable debris.
Students from area universities, along with Project Respect (a volunteer organization dedicated to the preservation of black historical cemeteries), continue to work at the Wyatt Chapel Cemetery site by clearing additional pathways, excavating, marking and otherwise identifying additional gravesites. Volunteers are welcome, and may sign up for this and/or other local grave restoration projects at ProjectRespect.com.
