Did you know...

• Livonia has four historic cemeteries with headstones dating back to the 1820s.
  
  
• Within those four cemeteries, there are more than 3,000 headstones.
  
  
• Veterans from the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Civil War, Spanish American War, World War I, World War II, Korean War and Vietnam War are buried in our historic cemeteries.
  
  
• Livonia veterans from the Revolutionary War are all buried in the Newburg Cemetery, which was awarded a State Historical Marker in 1964.
