Mapping the Pioneer Highlandlake Cemetery

On Friday, May 8, Denver University Anthropology Professor Lawrence Conyers, and several of his students, visited our pioneer cemetery. Their mission was to map the cemetery, looking for unmarked graves, by using ground penetrating radar technology. Several newspapers and Denver TV station, 7News covered the event.
