Dellwood Cemetery Association was incorporated in 1865 in Manchester, Vermont Mark Skinner of Chicago, and the Hon. Helmus M. Mr. Burton A. A.G. Clark, E.B.

In 1865 Dellwood Cemetery Association was incorporated, by Special Act of Legislature, and the land (some 13 acres) was conveyed to the association by the Hon. Wells of New York, former residents of Manchester Village. About Six Thousand Dollars were subscribed for the purpose of embellishing the grounds. Thomas, a rural architect of high reputation, was employed to plan and lay out the avenues, walks, and burial lots; which plan is being executed by Messrs. Burton and F.H. Orvis, the Committee of Superintendence, to the satisfaction of the Association. The avenues and walks have been graded, a substantial fence, a receiving vault, two beautiful lakes, and a large iron vase (presented by Judge Skinner) place in the center of one of the large circles, attract the attention of the visitor. Dellwood Cemetery, beautiful by nature and made attractive by art, it is hoped will continue to be cared for in all time to come.

Have you ever wondered how to clean family gravestones? Do they need to be reset? Here's a great opportunity to learn at an all day workshop being held at Dellwood Cemetery on July 18th from 9AM-3PM.

Participate in gravestone cleaning and learn the most common safe & effective repair techniques!

A discussion on historic preservation will begin the day with a short walk and talk tour, visually surveying some of the most historic gravestones and monuments in need of repair.

Safe & effective removal of biological activity w/ approved stone cleaners & graffiti removal & prevention. HANDS ON! Adopt a stone and perform the cleaning process yourself.

The most common repair techniques will be discussed and performed including resetting a badly leaning or sunken tablet stone and joining broken gravestone fragments using epoxy, clamps, and bracing techniques.

*If time allows* we will employ an overhead, lifting tripod and demonstrate how to rig and lift monuments safely.

*If time allows* we will review materials required and the process involved in replaced eroded or lost stone with the use of a stone infill material, including preparation, application and curing of mortars.
