Collection: Crownland Cemetery - Noblesville
Crownland Cemetery in Noblesville, Indiana, established in 1867, is situated on high ground chosen to avoid flooding issues that affected the earlier Riverside Cemetery by the White River. Often referred to as Noblesville's "New Cemetery" in historic records, Crownland was intended to be more reliable and accessible during the town's expansion. The cemetery spans over 17 acres, shaded by mature trees and bordered by traditional iron fencing. It includes a significant area dedicated to military veterans and a memorial honoring Hamilton County residents who served in the Civil War.
Crownland hosts events like the Civil War Veterans Walking Tour, which takes place on Veterans Day and is led by local historians who share stories about Indiana’s role in the Civil War and the sacrifices of local soldiers. This cemetery is not only a resting place for residents but also a historical site for Noblesville, providing both scenic and educational experiences for visitors.
