Celebrating Life. Safeguarding History.
Every day, we greet not just family and friends of those who lie to rest here, but also walkers, runners, historians, naturalists and others who come to experience our hills and valleys, historic monuments and scenic vistas. Whether you’re here to pay tribute to a loved one, explore Peoria’s history, enjoy the natural beauty or consider Springdale as your final resting place, welcome.

Last night, Springdale Cemetery General Manager Aaron Comte was honored with the Silver Medal for Good Citizenship by the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution — one of America’s most prestigious patriotic organizations. 🎖️
The award was presented by Illinois Society Sons of the American Revolution President Jeff Case and Captain Zeally Moss Chapter Sons of the American Revolution President Doug Holmes in recognition of Aaron’s leadership in bringing the Revolutionary War Patriot Plaza to life at Springdale Cemetery.
The SAR’s mission is to preserve the principles of American liberty and our Constitutional Republic — honoring the forefathers who gave us the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, an Independent Supreme Court, and a nation of free men. It is deeply fitting that this project, which will stand as a permanent tribute to those ideals, earned this recognition.
We are so proud of Aaron and grateful for his dedication to Springdale, to Peoria, and to the memory of those who built this country. 🇺🇸

Today is National Women’s Equality Day, and as students head back to school, Springdale Cemetery remembers the trailblazers who fought for a more just world.
Today, we honor the incredible legacy of Lydia Moss Bradley, an outstanding businesswoman and the visionary founder of Bradley University.
Lydia was also an early member of the Peoria Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. She rests alongside her father, Revolutionary War Captain Zeally Moss, in the Bradley family circle located in the Mt. Prospect area.
What women trailblazers do you most admire?
