St. Ignatius Cemetery

Several Jesuits who studied at the West Baden Monastery are buried here. Mr. Sinclair constructed two churches on the property, one Methodist and one Catholic, on each side of the cemetery on the hill overlooking the brick street. The cemetery was established soon after the Jesuits began West Baden College in 1934. Thirty-nine priests, seminarians, and brothers who died during their tenure are buried here. When the Jesuits left the hotel to move to Chicago, they arranged for Our Lady of the Springs Catholic Church in French Lick to care for the Catholic cemetery on the hotel grounds.
