If you would like to help out in a very worthwhile way, then consider joining out organization. The Washington County Cemetery Preservation Group, Inc. was started in 2014 to preserve cemeteries in Washington County, Arkansas and help educate the local communities about cemetery preservation. Board members of WCCPG meet approximately 3-4 times a year, in person and by Zoom, and discuss various topics related to cemetery preservation. Candidates for a position on our board must have a love for history and a love for preservation of historic cemeteries. Experience is nice but not necessary. We will train the right persons. If you think you would like to interview for the position, please let us know and we can set it up. You may wear a mask if you prefer, but it is not necessary.

Description
Many of Washington County's historic cemeteries were once located in the midst of thriving communities, but have become neglected, overgrown, and forgotten over time. Growth and development now place many of these cemeteries in danger of being destroyed and lost forever.
The Washington County Cemetery Preservation Group is partnering with service organizations, church groups, and individual volunteers to provide a long-term plan for maintenance and preservation of our county's historic cemeteries.
WE NEED YOU! We have many, many areas of our organization in which we need volunteers to help us carry out our mission. Not only do we need volunteers to help clean, repair, and maintain our county cemeteries. We also need help doing certain office duties, such as research and correspondence. If you can help out just one or two hours per week, that would be wonderful!
