For generations, the Vineland Training School served as home for young people who did not quite fit into the outside world,
according to the standards of the day. The school served as their world, where they lived and ultimately died, their remains
buried in a small cemetery located on the grounds that was later abandoned to the elements.
On May 14, the Vineland Historical and Antiquarian Society, working in cooperation with Elwyn, Inc.,
the current owners of the property, will begin supervising a restoration project of the abandoned cemetery.
Approximately 92 former residents of the Training School, who lived there between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, are buried at the site.

Wow, how prophetic.
