We just uncovered 300 hidden graves beneath this historic cemetery, and what we found is truly unbelievable. Using ground-penetrating radar, we located unmarked graves that had been lost to time. This cemetery, known locally as Bonetown, began as a burial ground for enslaved people, and their descendants continued burying here until at least the 1920s.
Joining historian Dan Akin and Robert Wright on this journey is ground-penetrating radar specialist Len Strozier and property owner John Posey as we work to document these lost graves and honor the forgotten.
Over 300 hidden graves are packed into this small space. With radar, we were able to locate graves buried beneath the surface and reveal the history of this cemetery and the people who rest here. These graves were lost for generations, and now we are working to preserve them and share their story.
This discovery is a powerful reminder of the stories buried beneath our feet. If you love history, forgotten places, and uncovering the past, make sure to like, comment, and subscribe to the channel for more incredible explorations.
