Historic Cemeteries Commission holds meeting and workshop in Cottage
Grove
 
The Oregon Commission on Historic Cemeteries will meet July 22 from
1-4:00 p.m. in the Shephard room at 700 E Gibbs. Agenda items will
include grant reports, current projects and upcoming plans. The
commission will invite public comments.
 
On July 23 from 9:00-3:30 p.m., the Commission is offering a Cemetery
Preservation Basics workshop at the McFarland Cemetery. Registration is
required for the free workshop which will address marker cleaning,
leveling and repair.
 
“The Commission is happy to be in Cottage Grove. There are many
wonderful historic cemeteries and sites in the area,” noted Kuri Gill,
program coordinator. “The Cottage Grove Historical Society County has
been a wonderful help organizing our visit.”


State law established the seven-member commission to maintain a listing
of all historic cemeteries and gravesites in Oregon; promote public
education on the significance of historic cemeteries; and help obtain
financial and technical assistance for restoring, improving and
maintaining their appearances. More information about commission
activities, the meeting and workshop registration may be obtained from
the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department’s historic cemeteries program
coordinator, Kuri Gill, at 503-986-0685 or by e-mail:
