Restoration & Preservation Fundraiser [gofundme]
The Friends of the Eastport Maine Cemetery has organized a GoFundMe campaign to assist in the restoration and preservation of the historic Hillside and Bayside Cemeteries in Eastport, Maine.  The cemetery is home to generations of soldiers, seafarers, founding families in the easternmost city in the United States.  Gravesites dating back to the 18th century are in drastic need of attention and care.  Funds will be used to clean, reset and repair stones, monuments and markers. Professionals as well as trained, supervised volunteers will do the work with appropriate tools and biodegradable solutions, as used by the National Park Service for all national cemeteries.
