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.

THANK YOU for the hard work today!! In 2 hours, these 2 ladies filled a pick-up with limbs and sticks. Some of those were already gathered by a mystery volunteer. THANK YOU to our mystery volunteer as well! One more THANK YOU goes to Parks & Rec for coming out today and mowing!

The timing is perfect for all this hard work because Visitor’s Day is happening this Sunday, 7/19, from 1-3. We hope to see you! We have lots of shade. 🙂
