Sacred Ground;

Sacred Ground; The Rise, Fall and Revial of Lincoln Memorial Park brought to the public eye a selection of documents and objects from the archives and grounds of Lincoln Memorial Park, one of Miami’s most historically relevant, yet neglected cemeteries. Original funeral home ledgers dating back to 1915, telegrams, photographs, maps, US Military markers, and sculptures, among other valuable artifacts, are exhibited in the Abraham Gallery of the Coral Gables Museum. They are the result of months of investigation and physical restoration in the cemetery, to which the Museum has committed and that will continue to realize with the help of the community after the show.

Sacred Ground was the first project I brought to Coral Gables Museum. I was responsible for reseraching, writing exhibition texts, and obtaining objects and images relevant to the cemetery’s history for the exhibition.
