‍The 163-year-old Mulberry Street Cemetery tells a significant story of the early days of the City of LaGrange. The project included adding interpretive elements, extensive landscape, a boardwalk, grave markers, and a pathway while not disturbing the more than 1,300 graves. Principle Construction was a key part of the project team and we couldn’t have done it without them.

Due to their efforts, today the cemetery is a showplace for everyone to learn about the history of LaGrange.
