Thomaston trustees to lead Elm Grove Cemetery tours during Fall Festival
Summary
The Thomaston Cemetery Board voted unanimously to give tours of Elm Grove Cemetery at the town Fall Festival on Oct. 25; trustees approved participation and asked for scheduling details and a pre‑event walk‑through.
The Thomaston Cemetery Board of Trustees voted unanimously Sept. 25 to provide guided tours of Elm Grove Cemetery during the town Fall Festival on Saturday, Oct. 25. Trustee Peggy McCrea moved the board participate; Trustee Ron Gamage seconded the motion, and the vote was 5–0.
The tours were requested by a festival organizer (Kendray). Trustee Peggy McCrea said she would prepare a script for the cemetery tour and asked trustees for volunteer guides; Chairman Ryan Fitzpatrick asked the group to confirm times and suggested a walk‑through prior to the event to finalize logistics.
The decision formalizes a volunteer outreach effort the board characterized as an opportunity to highlight historic gravesites and the trustees' stewardship of town cemeteries. The board recorded no budgetary appropriation for the tours at the meeting; logistical assistance and timing will be set by trustees and volunteers in advance.
The trustees' next regular meeting is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 23, 2025, at 4 p.m., when members said they expect to confirm tour times and conduct any needed preparations.
