Breathing Life into Fry Pioneer Cemetery
With Fry Pioneer Cemetery reopening on Monday, Nov. 2, we reflect on the hard work done in the last two years to improve and preserve this National Historic Landmark. Sierra Vista Historical Society President Tim Doyle and Fry Pioneer Cemetery Restoration Committee Co-Chair Marta Messmer join us to share how the City and historical society partnered to expand the site beyond the Fry family’s plot, marking about additional 200 graves. Messmer’s father Nacho Valenzuela had marked these graves years ago and was able to join his daughter to help honor those buried there once again.
Highlights:
- Why is the Fry Pioneer Cemetery Project important to the Historical Society? (1:34)
Local citizens are encouraged to join the conversation by asking questions, offering comments, and suggesting future topics. To share your thoughts, email [email protected].
