Assembling the Pieces of History: Advanced Hands-On Cemetery Restoration Workshop
Saturday, September 17, 8:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m.
Location: Friendship Cemetery, Johnson County
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.
Registration deadline: September 10 but registrations will be accepted until the workshop
is full
