Yesterday, after our event, a few of us joined Gone Graving at Hall Center Cemetery for another day of restoration work. Together, we repaired 7 gravestones!
The Marion Historic Association is proud to be spearheading this important project to help preserve the history of our community. We asked Gone Graving to assist us because he has the knowledge and expertise needed to properly restore historic gravestones. He has a group of other people with knowledge that assist and we are happy so many are willing to volunteer their time to restore our cemetery. The Association is providing the supplies needed for the project, and together we are working to preserve this important piece of Marion’s history.
Now, we need more helping hands! The more volunteers we have, the more we can accomplish and the faster we can restore this historic cemetery. If you would like to help, please reach out and let us know. No special experience is required—just a willingness to lend a hand. The more volunteers we have, the more stones we can restore. Can’t volunteer? We are also accepting donations to help purchase restoration supplies and support the project.
Thank you to everyone who has already donated their time and effort. Together, we are making a lasting impact and preserving our community’s heritage for future generations.
