SOS!-How to Preserve Historic Cemeteries

ONLINE-Kassidy Cobb (B.S. in History, ’24; M.A. in History, expected March ’27) knows that cemeteries are storybooks of the past. For years, she has advocated for cemetery restoration in her community, developed innovative ways to raise awareness about the history of burial grounds, and even authored a cover story on cemetery restoration for Kentucky Living magazine. Now, Cobb is ready to share what she has learned with audiences across the country. In this presentation, attendees will learn how to get started with cemetery preservation, incorporate public history into restoration and maintenance projects, use effective and responsible cleaning methods, and more.
