How the Section 106 Process Helped Find, and Save, a lost African American Cemetery
In April 2020, archaeological investigations for a medical facility development in Dublin, Ohio, led to the discovery of a lost African American cemetery. Twenty-two burials were identified, and further historical research revealed the site’s connection to a community of emancipated slaves who had relocated from Virginia to Ohio in the 1840s. Through collaboration with the State Historic Preservation Office, local historical societies, and descendant communities, the Brown-Harris Cemetery was rededicated in June 2024, ensuring its preservation and commemoration for future generations.
