Back by popular demand, the Mitchell House and the Prospect Hill Cemetery Association will co-host a workshop on how to properly clean stone monuments. Gravestones cannot be cleaned with bleach and water but must be attended to correctly to make sure that the face of the stone and its details are not being eroded by the treatment. We will gather together at the MMA for a brief overview and then head up to Prospect Hill to clean several stones. Class will be hands on so wear appropriate clothes and bring protective eyewear (sunglasses will suffice).
Please Note: This class is to teach others so that they may clean their family’s stone monuments. One must speak with the sextant of a cemetery before doing this. One must not work on stones not belonging to their family unless it is through a special program that has been condoned by the cemetery and other officials.
The class will be led by the PHC’s historian, Paula Levy, and myself. Should it be inclement weather, we will have to cancel and hope to schedule at a later date. Please make sure you register as space is limited! Saturday, June 8, 10-Noon. Limited space, reservations necessary. Please call 508.228.2896 to register. $10 for MMA Members; $15 for Non-members.
