FORGOTTEN GRAVEYARD: Chickasha, OK

2 days ago

We're staying close to home in Chickasha, Oklahoma, to uncover a truly forgotten piece of local history. We stumbled upon an empty field at SW 29th Street and Grand Avenue that is secretly a buried graveyard!

We followed a tip and found several eroded gravestones hidden in the tall grass. This site is believed to be the long-neglected Fairview Park Cemetery, which served as a burial ground, including a Roman Catholic section, in the early 1900s. Tragically, many graves here were reportedly moved to Rose Hill Cemetery, or simply plowed over and forgotten.

Join us as we explore this eerie, silent place and try to piece together the history of the pioneers, children, and early Chickasha residents buried beneath this field.
