Commission plans volunteer stone-cleaning at Wikoff Hill Burial Ground after vendor nonresponse
Summary
After unsuccessful outreach to a professional restorer, commission members said they will clean and repair headstones at Wikoff Hill Burial Ground this fall or early winter using operating-budget funds and volunteers.
The commission reported that repeated calls to Atlas Cemetery Restoration of Berlin, Connecticut, went unanswered. Commission members said they plan to clean and repair headstones at Wikoff Hill Burial Ground themselves this fall or early winter and will use operating-budget funds to purchase supplies and materials.
The minutes indicate the approach favors volunteer labor and in-house work over further vendor recruitment for the current season; the commission will coordinate volunteer schedules and acquire necessary supplies from its operating budget.
