Stop the Destruction of Historic Burial Sites in Alabama sign now
Alabama does not have strict laws protecting historic burial grounds Native American, Revolutionary War Veterans, early pioneers it simply does not matter. Developers who choose to plow under these sites have little or nothing to fear from the law.
Developers do not have to share the cost of moving graves. Developers are not even required to look for living defendants. There are no requirements for archeological inspections.
Preservation groups believe there are as many as 20 graves of Revolutionary War soldiers in just Montgomery County, Alabama. Six Revolutionary War soldiers' burial sites have been confirmed in Montgomery County, according to the Alabama Society for the Sons of the American Revolution. These graves and other historic sites are being threatened by development.
