Grandview Cemetery - Johnstown, Pennsylvania

This is one of the largest cemeteries in the country, and it's only fitting to honor those who fought for our freedom on this 4th of July Holiday. A committee was formed right after the 1889 Flood. Citizens wanted a cemetery on higher ground that couldn't be destroyed by flood waters. The pictures today are from the Union Soldier Section.
