The Old State Burial Ground in Vandalia recently underwent some improvement work with 21 headstones being repaired, reset and straightened. During Monday night’s Vandalia City Council meeting, Mayor Rick Gottman informed the board that a local business had donated equipment and manpower to complete the project.
The work to fix the headstones is one of several projects completed at the Old State Burial Grounds this year, including new signage and a garden at the site.
