Cemetery Restoration and Preservation

Vermont is fortunate to have the Vermont Old Cemetery Association that was founded in 1958 to “encourage the restoration and preservation of neglected and abandoned cemeteries in the State of Vermont ”.  The Association has played an important role to initiate restoration projects and to create public awareness of the need to preserve our historic cemeteries.

If you would like to contribute to a Vermont cemetery or volunteer your time on a cemetery restoration or preservation project we urge you to contact the Vermont Old Cemetery Association or the Town Clerk Office where the cemetery is located.  A list of Town Clerks Offices appears on this website.  The Vermont Old Cemetery Association’s website is www.sover.net/~hwdbry/voca/.  Thank you!
