Great work, Kate and Amber! 🎉

Each year, County Historical Commissions across Texas submit reports to the Texas Historical Commission highlighting their most impactful work. One standout story this year comes from the Cherokee County Historical Commission.

When local high school students expressed interest in a cemetery-focused service project, a Cherokee County Historical Commission appointee stepped in to help. She developed hands-on curriculum to teach proper, preservation-minded techniques for cleaning gravestones in a local cemetery.

After securing the necessary permissions, the students began their work forming a deeper connection to local history through the lives represented on each stone. Inspired by the experience, they even presented to their city council to expand the effort and encourage broader community participation. Since then, multiple cleaning sessions have been organized, continuing the work of preserving and honoring local heritage.

Great work to everyone involved in Cherokee County for fostering the next generation of preservationists! 👏
