BEST PRESERVED GRAVESITE IN THE WEST

CONCORDIA CEMETERY

The ghosts of El Paso's Concordia Cemetery protect the place. Well, actually, the ghost tours should get the credit. For years, vandals damaged gravestones at the famous landmark; repairs took most of the institition's budget. In July 2008, the specter of a solution appeared to the El Paso del Norte Paranormal Society - paid ghost tours of the cemetery. Between then and last August, more than $10,000 was raised to restore and preserve the historic site, and to bolster security. On top of that, the society contributes it's efforts to the cemetery for free. Now outlaw John Wesley Hardin (see his grave at left) and lawman John Selman, and the Buffalo Soldiers are the Texas Rangers who rest among the 60,000 souls buried here are getting some peace again.

Our responce:

The Paso Del Norte Paranormal Society not only offers paranormal investigations free of charge, but we also help preserve landmarks. Being associated with the Concordia Heritage Association is truly a blessing, but the restoration could not have been possible without the volunteers. We credit El Paso, all volunteers, the visitors from around the world in our support. (If I may borrow this line) This is one reason why we're full of El Paso Pride.
