Mt Wood Overlook
Wheeling Heritage serves as the project manager for the Mt. Wood Cemetery Restoration Project, working diligently with partners to ensure a bright future for this historic cemetery. Established in 1848, Mt. Wood Cemetery is Wheeling's oldest extant cemetery located within city limits, offering a glimpse into the city's past through its significant and unique topography.
Since 2012, Wheeling Heritage has spearheaded preservation efforts at Mt. Wood, engaging local organizations, volunteers, and businesses to restore gravestones, monuments, and mausoleums. Through community involvement and dedicated workdays, the cemetery has made significant progress, though ongoing restoration projects continue to preserve this important piece of Wheeling's history.
