"This website is an illustrated searchable online catalog of historical information viewed through the filter of roadside and other permanent outdoor markers, monuments, and plaques. It contains photographs, inscription transcriptions, marker locations, maps, additional information and commentary, and links to more information. Anyone can add new markers to the database and update existing marker pages with new photographs, links, information and commentary."

Photographs of graveyards, cemeteries and all manner of interesting headstones and tombs.
Acceptable images for the Group Pool:
Headstones, churchyard views and scenes; graveyard tableaux, cemetery architecture, ancient burial sites and markers; ossarium, crypts, interesting memorials, ornate tombs, grave markers and sculptures; wildlife on and around graves and tombs; all are fine for this group.
The commission also provides friends and relatives of those interred in its cemeteries or memorialized on its Tablets of the Missing with color lithographs of the cemetery or memorial on which is mounted a photograph of the headstone or commemorative inscription. The Andrews Project, named in honor of its sponsor, the late Congressman George W. Andrews, is ABMC's most popular service.
We can assist you in your planned visit to any of our sites, can arrange for the placement of floral decorations at an individual's grave or marker, and can give you information on any individual buried or honored at our cemeteries or memorials.
Photos from any Minnesota cemetery are welcome. Please identify the city, and, if possible, the name of the cemetery where the photo was taken. Anything in a cemetery is fair game- trees, memorials, stones, doors, markers. Please be creative but respectful. Welcome!
