Introduction to Cheonghak-dong Foreign Cemetery
The Foreign Cemetery is the place where the remains of 66 foreigners, including diplomats, interpreters, missionaries, and doctors, who died while staying in Incheon after the port was opened, were buried.
This cemetery was built by moving the graves of foreigners scattered across Bukseong-dong and Yulmok-dong in Jung-gu and Dohwa-dong in Michuhol-gu together on May 25, 1965.
As the number of foreigners residing in Incheon continued to increase and more people died, a cemetery was created on a hill near their residence in case the remains of foreigners could not be sent to their home country.
As a result, Japanese cemeteries, Chinese cemeteries, and other national cemeteries were created.

Introduction to Injae Won
This building was built in front of the tomb of Lee Heo-gyeom, an important founder of the Incheon Lee clan.
An important progenitor refers to an ancestor who founded a family with a surname that was not very well known.
According to 『History of Goryeo』, his ancestors lived in Soseonghyeon, present-day Incheon, since the Silla Dynasty. He went to the Tang Dynasty in China as an envoy from Silla and received his last name from the Emperor.
However, it was from the time of Lee Heo-gyeom that the Incheon Lee clan was able to join the ranks of nobles of the Goryeo Dynasty, and all three of his granddaughters became the concubines of King Hyeonjong.
The first granddaughter was Empress Wonseong, who gave birth to two kings, Deokjong and Jeongjong, and the second granddaughter gave birth to King Munjong.
Afterwards, from King Munjong to King Injong, a powerful faction of aristocratic politics formed over seven generations.
The exact time when this building was built is unknown, but based on the writings of the 32nd and 33rd sons, it appears to have been built in the 7th year of King Sunjo of Joseon (1807) or the 4th year of King Gojong's reign (1835).
It was originally located in nearby Sinji Village, but was moved to its current location due to housing development.
