From the Greenfield Historical Society's website:

"Another volunteer day was held at the Old Burying Ground adjacent Travellers Rest on September 6, 2014, to clean and repair gravestones.

Led again by Scott Anderson, he was joined by his wife Venus, Gloria Losey, John King, Shirley Shields and Michael Gates. There is a tremendous amount of progress being made in this project."
