Upcoming Events for Cemeteries;
The Misfit Paranormal Crew is coming to the Historical Cemetery (Old Riverside) on September 27, 2024. They will be investigating evidence of spirit activity. This is for "The World's Largest Ghost Hunt" gathers teams from around the world to investigate any Historical place to find evidence of spirits. They do this to help historical places with fundraising and bring awareness to their value. The fundraising aspect is a great way to help with the restoration of these Historical places. The Misfits have been investigating as a group for 14 years. This will be their third World largest ghost hunt. They are a local group and want to help preserve local history. This hunt will not be open to the public but will be available to watch on YouTube. For more information join "Misfits Paranormal Crew" on Facebook where you will be able to see the big reveal, ways to watch the video of the hunt, Q and A session, "Kats Krafts" gear for Mooers Riverside Cemetery for fundraising, and updates on how you can help our Cemetery.
Clinton County Historical Association is sponsoring a Cemetery Tour October 12, 2024, from 10 AM until approximately noon at Old Riverside Cemetery. Anyone is welcome to join.
At this time the Historic Cemetery on Mill St/Rt 11 cannot allow children as volunteers. There are loose and unstable stones that can be a safety hazard. We are working towards a grant for funds to help Restore this beautiful Cemetery. I have an estimate from Vermont Memorials for the cost of repairing and straightening these stones which is about $16,000.00. Donations for this Restoration are welcome. Please email mooerscemetery@mooersny.com. For more information on this Restoration effort, watch Calvin Castines "Mooers Riverside Cemetery" 4-28-23.
Memorial Veterans Park: It will be erected on the Historic Riverside Cemetery land but it is not connected to the cemetery. Brick donations are for the Veterans Memorial Park and not for restoration of the Historic Riverside Cemetery.
The Union Cemetery on Rte. 11 in Mooers Forks is not ready to sell plots or lots, but does need spring cleaning. We do have a large Military Veteran Soldier Stone down at the Union Cemetery and will hopefully be able to erect that soon. If anyone would like to volunteer with the cleaning in this cemetery please email mooerscemetery@mooersny.com.
Individuals, family groups, church groups, school classes, clubs needing badges, high school students needing community service credits, please consider some volunteer time at our cemeteries. Thank you to anyone who has donated time or funds to these cemeteries.
Cemeteries under the care of the Town since 2015 are:
