‼️SAVE THE DATE‼️

The annual Greenwood Cemetery History Walk is coming right up! The weather should be MUCH nicer, the Chiefs aren’t playing, and the presentations are ALWAYS interesting! Plus, you can get a first-hand look at all the preservation work that has been done this year. Admission will be collected at the gate..no advance ticket sales…and parking is street side as always. We look forward to seeing you!

Discovery & restoration planned for tomorrow Wednesday at 9:00. We're continuing work in the African American section of Greenwood where we'll assess how to get the Moates obelisk back on the other side of the street. It's gotta go up a hill so maybe we'll consult the Egyptians 🤷‍♂️ - Ray

See the before and after photos of stones that were cleaned during the past week as part of our ongoing preservation initiative. These efforts are an important component of our continued commitment to the conservation, maintenance, and respectful stewardship of these historic markers. They will continue to brighten and clear up as the D2 works its magic.
