The Sandy Bay Historical Society extends its deepest gratitude to everyone, especially our young volunteers, who joined us on October 4 for the volunteer clean-up and restoration day at the Old First Parish Burying Ground.

Your time, hard work, and care help our efforts to preserve one of Rockport’s most treasured historic sites. From cleaning centuries-old stones to tending the grounds, each of you played an important role in honoring the lives and stories of those who came before us.

Your dedication and community spirit keep history alive. Thank you for helping us protect this sacred place for generations to come.
