About

Founded in 1892, Hope Cemetery is the final resting place for more than 300 military veterans, who are memorialized by a Spanish American War era cannon known as “Old George.” The cannon was brought to Albion from Savannah, Georgia by Civil War veteran George Baird. It was restored by the Albion Veterans of Foreign Wars and rededicated in 2013.
