Leelanau County cemeteries contain numerous early European settlers and their families, representing an important historical record and an integral part of the local heritage.
These graves and monuments are the last and often only record of their life. Repairing, cleaning, and care taking these physical community archives is a meaningful way to preserve history.
Over the last five years the Leelanau Historical Society (LHS) has taken an active role in facilitating workshops to teach best-practice rehabilitation methods with instruction from professional monument conservators. This commitment to our ancestors relies on active participation from the community as a way to honor our roots.
