A big THANK YOU to Jeanne Burke of the Clark County Museum. They had some old displays that they could not use anymore and donated them to us. We are repurposing the wood for new crosses to mark the graves. Anyone that is intrested in the restoration project please feel free to contact us. Thanks again Jeanne.
