Memorial Day Meet and Greet, May 25 & 26, 11:00am-3:00pm

Volunteers with the Friends of Jacksonville’s Historic Cemetery will place flags at the graves of all Veterans resting in the cemetery on Saturday, May 24. On Sunday, May 25 and Monday, May 26, volunteers will be in the cemetery to greet families and friends to assist in locating their loved ones’ grave sites. Volunteers will also be available to answer questions about the Jacksonville Cemetery and the FOJHC organization. Since the month of May is also Preservation Month, cemetery restoration and preservation projects will be featured, including the recent restoration of the Jacob Ish Block.
