[Michlib-l] Cemetery Preservation Program.

[Suzy Shipman]

Hello!
This past week, RTDL welcomed Thomas Henthorn and students from the
University of Michigan-Flint Department of History for a historic
preservation program at the Redford Cemetery.
During this four hour program, participants were instructed in proper care,
cleaning, and repair of grave monuments.  We discussed geology, history,
art, and engineering through the course of the day.  This program was made
possible by the Wyatt Endowment at the University of Michigan-Flint.
Our library was able to work closely with our local historical commission
and local chapter of The Daughters of the American Revolution to host this
program.
I cannot say enough about this event; the camaraderie, the education, the
service to our community. Participants left the event with resources and
skills to clean historic monuments on their own.
If your community is interested in this project, please contact Thomas
Henthorn at henthorn at umich.edu
