The MTSU Center for Historic Preservation will be conducting a workshop at the historic Town Cemetery in Smithville on Saturday, October 20th.

Center research professor Stacey Graham will present information about historic cemeteries in Tennessee starting at 9:00 a.m. at the Smithville City Hall. Afterwards, participants will learn proper techniques for cleaning tombstones and then experience the hands-on portion of the workshop by scrubbing tombstones themselves.

This event is free, but due to limited supplies, please contact Stacey Graham to register for attendance.
