To interested cemetery volunteers,
The Moore-Jackson Cemetery
in Woodside, Queens, is a 270-year old colonial cemetery. It is a landmarked
cemetery, long neglected, but about to be restored. The work will begin in
June, with the first phase to last up to two weeks. If you like hard work with
no pay, and believe that the results are worth it, then this project is for
you. The Moore-Jackson Cemetery is a family member of the Queens Family
Cemeteries, and its restoration is crucial to the history and heritage of
Queens. Please contact LeahJaneC@aol.com.
