About this Event
Learn to care for historic cemeteries in Florida!
Join us for our Cemetery Resource Protection Training workshop, hosted by the Junior Service League of Brooksville! We will explore cemeteries as historical resources while learning about laws that protect them, conserving headstones and markers, managing cemetery landscapes, and practicing hands-on headstone cleaning. By the end of the course, you will be well-versed in issues surrounding the protection of historic cemeteries and ready to record historic cemeteries to the Florida Master Site File!
