Nora Coffey will be speaking about the three cemeteries of Lake James State Park—Rock Hill, Obeth, and Cuthbertson—and their cultural significance, particularly in relation to traveling church circuits. Her presentation will explore the historical and cultural impact these cemeteries had on the local community. Additionally, park rangers and staff have conducted research on these cemeteries, shedding light on their history and the role churches have played in shaping the area's heritage. These cemeteries and their restoration will clear the way for future interpretive opportunities at the Park.
