Damariscotta's Historic Cemeteries
Contribute
Here are some of the ways you can contribute to restoring and maintaining Damariscotta's historic cemeteries:
- Adopt a cemetery;
- Donate funds;
- Lend your equipment for volunteers to use;
- Volunteer your time;
- Organize a work group.
Individuals, families, neighbors, descendants, churches, businesses, civic clubs, and other organizations may adopt a cemetery. Adoption includes:
- Active participation April through November;
- Spring and fall clean-ups;
- Mowing and trimming every 4-6 weeks, May through September;
- Notifying the Historical Society of broken stones, trees or large limbs down — anything requiring more than routine grounds maintenance;
- A 1-year commitment, which may extended for additional years.
