****Cemetery Preservation Workshop at Stratford on May 5 & 12, 2018****
After over four years of research to begin the process of clearing of the Stratford cemetery, a geophysical survey using a laser transit for mapping, ground-penetrating radar, a magnetometer a drone for 3D mapping and over 600 hours of probing for buried gravestones, we are ready for the real restoration. Restoration will include resetting headstones, repairing broken bases and headstones and cleaning head and foot stones.
We have partnered with preservationists at Custom Gravesite Care of Central Ohio, to have a 2-day workshop on Saturday May 5 and Saturday May 12 from 9 am to 5 pm with a 45 minute lunch break. Bring your own lunch, we will provide water. This will be a hands-on workshop were we will actually reset and repair gravestones - come ready to work. They will teach us "best practices" to restore a pioneer cemetery.
***This 2 day workshop has limited spots. We have a few slots for those folks not associated with the Stratford Cemetery restoration, at a cost of $50. Those registered as Stratford volunteers continuing to assist in the Stratford Cemetery efforts will not be charged.***
