Description: In 1975, the Missouri Corp. of Engineers decided to flood the Washington and Crawford County areas for the proposed Meramec Lake Project. This lake project  was unnecessary, contrived by the wealthy, so they would have another lake to play with. However, in the process of creating this lake, the law would require the Missouri Corp. of Engineers to remove all known cemeteries within the lake proposed area. This is the story of that project and how concerned citizens were able to defeat the project.
