"815 Stone Scrubbers" Summer Lecture

Join us for an informative and intriguing presentation. Janie Jenkin will present about the non-profit organization, 815 Stone Scrubbers, and why gravestone preservation is important. This program will feature Civil War veteran Albert McDowell, a man who was born a slave with no name. Thanks to the dedication of 815 Stone Scrubbers researchers, McDowell was discovered and given a gravestone to honor his memory. This and other stories of our early American history will be shared during the presentation.
The museum doors will open at 10:45am, with the presentation starting promptly at 11:00am.
Admission for this special event is free, supported by the America 250 grant.
