Hi guys, The following came through on a list to which I subscribe, and it occurred to me that if any of you need a reason to go to Ohio, you might enjoy this event. I am half way tempted myself, just because it would be interesting, not because I have any gravestones in need of repair. Cathy January 18, 2010 Contact: Terry Easton 937-746-8534 Clinic@CrossonCemetery.org ----------------------------- The Crosson Cemetery Restoration Clinic, Harlan Township, Ohio April 10, 2010, 9 am - 4 pm Sponsored by the Warren County Genealogical Society & the Clinton County Genealogical Society This advanced clinic in cemetery restoration will teach in-depth techniques of gravestone repair as well as the fundamentals of cemetery preservation. The clinic will empower participants providing them with the tools they will need to document, preserve and restore gravestones. The clinic will demonstrate in a step-by-step fashion how to preserve and restore a graveyard. Restoration is described with recommendations as to what lay people should and should not undertake. In the workshop you will learn basic and advanced techniques of gravestone repair and preservation, proper cleaning of gravemarkers, leveling stones, building new bases and repairing cracked and broken stones. Under the supervision of experienced professionals, participants will learn techniques and regulations of probing for finding hidden stones and will have the opportunity to work on actual gravestones. The clinic will include detailed handouts and carefully describe the correct and incorrect ways to approach preservation and conservation. The clinic will be conducted by professional restorers educated in the principles of gravemarker restoration and graveyard conservation as established by and studied at the Association for Graveyard Studies of Greenfield, Massachusetts.
