The long and distressing history of Eastern Cemetery and the glimmer of hope: Andy Harpole; Friends Of Eastern Cemetery

This week I am joined by Andy Harpole of the Friends Of Eastern Cemetery in Louisville, KY. Eastern Cemetery has a long history of grave desecration and abuse begining as early as the 1800's. A feature of the otherwise beautiful Highlands neigborhood in Louisville, Kentucky it is bordered by the amazing Cave Hill cemetery. Join us as Andy shares the sad history of this amazing place, as well as the stories of some of those interred here, and the wonderful work he and other volunteers have undergone to restore this last resting place of some of the most amazing denizens of Louisville's History to it's rightful order to the best of their ability. If you are at all moved by the story and think you can in any way help with the restoration of this sacred space, then please check out www.friendsofeasterncemetery.com and give the documentary "Facing East: The True Story of the Most Over buried Cemetery in America" a view and share! #thealchemistoftheblackforest #alanbishopdistiller #friendsofeasterncemetery #easterncemetery #louisvillekentucky #facingeast
