Cemetery Clean Up Day
April 25 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Always wondered about Stonington’s numerous historic cemeteries? Want to do your part to help preserve the final resting places of Revolutionary War veterans and their families?
The Stonington Cemetery Commission has partnered with Historic Stonington, the Abigail Hinman Chapter of the DAR and the America 250 Committee to host a Headstone Cleaning Workshop on Saturday, April 25th from 10am to 12pm at the Thomas Miner cemetery on Wilcox Road, across from the Quiambaug Cove Professional Center. All cleaning materials will be provided, all you have to bring along is a pair of work gloves and some water to stay hydrated. Members of the Cemetery Commission will provide a short demonstration on best practices for headstone cleaning, and talk briefly about the people who are buried in the cemetery before work commences. This is a great way to get involved in your local community, while also paying respect to the brave men and women who have gone before us.
No registration is necessary. Parking will be available in the QCPC parking lot across the street from the Avalonia parcel where the cemetery is located, off Wilcox Road.
