Readfield History Walk #24 ~ FOLLOW-UP / UPDATE

Last fall we held a Readfield History Walk, led by guests Libby Doak and Sharon Burns of Chelsea. The Readfield Cemetery Sexton and most of the Cemetery Committee attended and are now in touch with Doak and Burns. These ladies have done an amazing job of restoring cemeteries in their town and are very generous with their time in teaching others their techniques, "tricks of the trade" and materials used at minimal cost. They have now also been put in touch with the Mt. Vernon Cemetery Sexton who plans to attend Libby and Sharon's "class". Cleaning stones can be a VERY expensive project when done professionally and some techniques used can actually be harmful to the stones. The process is not difficult or expensive when a few volunteers get together and take it on. FMI about Doak and Burns group see Maine Cemetery Volunteers - MCV on Facebook. SO PLEASED this is a result of History Walk #24!!
