We're seeking volunteers to help with cleaning and re-setting headstone markers at Springdale Cemetery. These graves are in historic sections that often have no surviving family to tend to them.
We will meet at the Volunteer/Maintenance Building at Springdale Cemetery (3014 N Prospect Rd, Peoria 61603) at 8:45 a.m. for a brief orientation on best practices for cleaning historic markers.
