Assembling the Pieces of History: Advanced Hands-On Cemetery Restoration
Workshop
Saturday, August 19; 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.
Location: White Chapel Cemetery, Hamilton County, Indiana
This full-day workshop will focus on advanced cemetery restoration
techniques. Topics covered will include fixing simple breaks, resetting
obelisks, determining the original location of a stone once it's been
moved, and how to mix stone dust to fill in cracks. Most of the workshop
will be spent in the cemetery, where participants will gain valuable
hands-on experience repairing stones. Participants must have attended
one of the Indiana Historical Society's Basic Cemetery Preservation
workshops or have prior cemetery preservation experience.
