Scout maps Civil War graves at Maple Grove and Pioneer Cemeteries
Fifteen year old Ian Archer places flags on Civil War graves at Maple Grove and Pioneer Cemeteries to support a year long Eagle Scout service project. He created an 18 by 20 inch laminated map with photos and numbered locations matching an aerial view to help future researchers locate each grave. Archer plans to keep history alive by making grave sites easier to find for generations.
