Oaklawn Cemetery Veterans' Day Clean Up

The Student Conservation Assocation is hosting a volunteer clean up event at Historic Oaklawn Cemetery as part of ongoing efforts to restore the grounds. The cemetery, which dates back to the 1870s, is the final resting place of many veterans from all branches of the Military, including Merchant Marines, from WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and other conflicts/wars. Also buried here are Purple Heart, Bronze Star and Silver Star Recipients, as well as Buffalo Soldiers, Tuskegee Airmen, and others.
