I just love
this story in the
Auburn Citizen/West Onondaga County Journal about Lakeview Cemetery in Skaneateles and Jorge Batlle's efforts to get it placed on the National Register of Historic Places through the
National Park Service. It's such a beautiful place and so well taken care of. Those of us who live in or have lived in or will live in Skaneateles are lucky to have people like Jorge and his wife Beth Batlle working to preserve the local history and also inform and educate people about it.
This photo is from the article (taken by the reporter Jonathan Monfiletto) and it's of Burrow's Chapel which can be seen from Genesee Street in the village. My mother, Barby Bendall Spain has been involved over the years in raising money to help keep this building up.
I hope Jorge is right and that we will soon know that the cemetery is on the National Register of Historic Places.
