Then & Now

A look back at the Delhi Township Pioneer Cemetery project

Delhi Township’s Pioneer Cemetery is aptly named. Established in 1853 and listed in the Michigan State Register of Historic Sites, it is the resting place of more than 200 of our township’s earliest residents.

In 2010, the Delhi DDA launched an improvement project to replace the crumbling wall around the cemetery and upgrade the site’s overall appearance. A new stone retaining wall, stone steps to the cemetery’s entrance and new landscaping now grace the historic site.

Pioneer Cemetery is on North Aurelius Road north of Cedar Street.
