Sharing a link to this spotlight article from the Highland County Press - "Local Group has been restoring Greenfield's Old Burying Ground since 2014""

It is wonderful to see this story spotlighting the almost a decade long effort by the "Friends of the OBG" - at the Old Burying Ground - Greenfield's pioneer cemetery adjacent to the Travellers Rest - both sitting on the Paint Creek. 

Thanking John King, Scott and Venus Andersen, Michael Lee Anderson, and Jackie Doles for their steadfast work at the "OBG" that has transformed the entire cemetery!  

Excerpt from the story.:

"Those that just want to observe the work and the progress are welcomed to do so during work sessions. Anyone wishing to make a monetary contribution to the project may do so by making the check payable to the Greenfield Historical Society (indicate on the memo line that the donation is for the Old Burying Ground) and mailing it to The Greenfield Historical Society, P.O. Box 266, Greenfield 45123."
