Bellefontaine Cemetery, Late Summer into Fall 2019

Posted on October 15, 2019 by Chris Naffziger

Posted on November 12, 2018 by Chris Naffziger

I went back by Father Dickson Cemetery, a historic African American cemetery off of Sappington Road, which I visited back in 2015 for a story for St. Louis Magazine. It still looks great, and is a model for maintaining a… Continue Reading →
