Hidden Truths: The Chicago City Cemetery & Lincoln Park

As a lecturer at Northwestern University, Pamela Bannos has found herself researching all sorts of topics over the years, and she recently found herself intrigued with the history of the former Chicago City Cemetery and Lincoln Park. Her basic interest in this project was to detail how this cemetery eventually became Lincoln Park over the course of the 19th century. Drawing on a range of historical sources and documents, she has created an online multimedia exhibit which delves into the history of the cemetery, Lincoln Park, and by extension the shifting urban landscape in this part of Chicago. On the site, visitors can learn about the various elements of the cemetery, investigate the process by which the graves were moved, and also learn about subsequent excavations in the 20th century. It's a fascinating project, and one that will pique the interest of anyone with a penchant for urban history.
