Join Muskie Archives at Riverside Cemetery for our last cleaning session of the season! Due to the current drought, we are not planning on cleaning stones, but rather using other tools to clean up plots including cutting back of vines and plants and resetting fallen stones.

All are welcome! No experience needed!

Supplies will be provided, but you may wish to bring a pair of work gloves. Please wear clothes and shoes appropriate for outdoor activity and that can get dirty and/or wet.

October 14th, 4:30pm-5:30pm

Meet up spot: Front gates of Riverside Cemetery, 192 Summer Street
