Join us at the Oak Grove Cemetery to learn how to clean gravestones. We provide all supplies. This can get messy and we do recommend wearing clothes you don't mind to get dirty. Museum staff will demonstrate the proper cleaning techniques for our gravestones, then you will have the opportunity to clean gravestones as well. Volunteers will be available throughout the event for questions and further instruction if needed.
We will be using D/2 Biological Solution, which is non-toxic, to clean the headstones. All gloves, brushes, and additional cleaning supplies will be provided for the class.
We will also be joined by a special guest, KC Cemetery Man, who will be restoring and repairing a broken headstone while the workshop is going on.
If it rains, we will update this event page and our social media page.
