    Tombstone Cleaning Project at Oak Grove Cemetery!

    Saturday, June 6, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

    Learn how to clean and restore headstones at Morenci's Oak Grove Cemetery Saturday, June 6, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in a free workshop. No experience is necessary, but participants must register by calling Stair District Library at 517-458-6510 or email stairstaff@gmail.com. Lunch will be provided; bring a portable chair, if desired.

    Stair District Library offers a unique, hands-on opportunity to care for one of Morenci’s most meaningful historic spaces at Oak Grove Cemetery for a Cemetery Preservation Workshop led by Dr. Thomas Henthorn and students from the University of Michigan–Flint.

    Participants will learn preservation-minded techniques for cleaning historic gravestones using methods that protect these fragile and irreplaceable markers. The workshop is designed for anyone interested in local history, preservation, or community stewardship.


    Dr. Henthorn serves as the Wyatt Endowed Professor of Public History and directs the Preservation Studies Minor at the University of Michigan–Flint. He and his students work with communities across Michigan to support the long-term care of historic cemeteries.
