The East Cleveland Township Cemetery lecture
An intimate, virtual tour of one of Cleveland's most-interesting and best-kept secrets: The East Cleveland Township Cemetery. The cemetery consists of 12 acres of land in University Circle off East 118th Street. Largely forgotten by some Clevelanders, it has been surrounded by urban legend for decades and embroiled in litigation since its founding in 1859. The story has now been uncovered and fact has been separated from fiction. Join Nancy Fogel West of the East Cleveland Foundation for a look at the perpetual home of some of Cleveland's and the Heights area's most fascinating settlers, politicians and heroes.
