In Lewistown, a significant restoration effort is underway at the Old Town Cemetery, one of the town’s earliest historic landmarks. The cemetery, established in 1790, holds a pivotal place in Mifflin County’s history. Over time, its walls and headstones have suffered from wear and tear. The restoration project, costing over $180,000, aims to preserve the cemetery’s integrity. It includes repairs to the walls and alley across from the First National Bank drive-through. The rejuvenation effort not only honors the past but also prepares the cemetery to tell its story through a planned mural, depicting local history milestones. Community involvement and support are key to this project’s success, with volunteers and local businesses contributing to the restoration.
