About this Event
Are you interested in cleaning or taking care of gravestones - the right way?
Join us on May 16th at Greendale Cemetery in Meadville, PA to learn the basics of gravestone preservation, cleaning, and basic repair as we present a hands-on workshop, sponsored through a grant from the Crawford Heritage Community Foundation.
Led by Historical Society Executive Director Josh Sherretts, we'll discuss the right tools, the only appropriate chemicals guaranteed NOT to damage stones, and how to clean stones as well as reset smaller ones that may have fallen over. Participants will be able to clean a stone on site as well as take home the necessary items to do so in the future.
Each participant will receive their own gravestone kit to keep, complete with brushes and D2 Gravestone Cleaner. This is a perfect opportunity for anyone interested in cleaning their family's stones, cemetery caretakers, township or church employees, etc.
A lawn chair will be provided for your use during this event. Participants should bring their own sunscreen, water, and wear clothes they can get dirty. Event will continue in light rain.
