Church elders willing to donate Harvey's Chapel Cemetery; HPC staff to schedule field trip
Summary
Staff told the commission that church elders have agreed to host a February hike to the historic Harvey’s Chapel Cemetery and are prepared to move ahead with a proposed donation to Orange County for inclusion in the Seven Mile Creek Nature Preserve; the county offered to create a spur trail and an interpretive marker.
Staff reported that they met with church elders and their advocate, Rachel Cotterman, who confirmed the elders are willing to host a field trip to the historic Harvey’s Chapel Cemetery in February and are prepared to move forward with a proposed donation of the cemetery to the county for inclusion in the Seven Mile Creek Nature Preserve.
Peter Sandbeck (Cultural Resources Coordinator) told commissioners the county is willing to help construct a spur trail to the cemetery and to install a new historic interpretive marker. Members discussed possible dates and staff said they will work on scheduling the hike when most commissioners can attend.
No formal motion was recorded on this item; staff will follow up on scheduling and any required transfer documentation if the elders proceed with a donation.
