Description

Although the first verified and recorded interment for where the cemetery is currently located was 1/21/1935, many of the headstones date back to 1879. This is because Carlisle Barracks was home to the Carlisle Indian School, established in 1879. The school was the model for a nationwide system of boarding schools intended to assimilate American Indians into mainstream culture. Many of those who died while attending the school are interred in the cemetery grounds but no recorded date of interment was made. After the school closed in 1919 and those graves were eventually moved to where the present cemetery location while better record keeping measures started to be put in place. The last interment occurred in 2005 and the cemetery has remained closed to new interments since. Small, orderly and historical, the Carlisle Cemetery offers visitors a glimpse into the unique past of the United States and Native American history.
