Commission outlines cemetery signage, headstone restoration and QR self-guided tour plans
Summary
The commission marked cemetery sign locations and discussed pursuing funding for fallen headstone restoration; a volunteer is developing a Palmer St. cemetery QR-code self-guided tour and a local offered to fly drones for documentation.
Commissioners Tim Turner and Anthony Kucikas reported they have marked four locations for new cemetery signs and plan to mark a fifth soon; the chair will contact the sign maker to arrange installation. Commissioner Kucikas urged the Commission to pursue funding to restore fallen headstones; Commissioner John Larsen emphasized that at minimum headstones should not remain in contact with the ground and offered to research grant opportunities.
Commissioner Paul Healey noted that the Commission should consider interpretive signage and that a volunteer is creating a self-guided Palmer St. cemetery tour using QR codes. Healey said a person surnamed Hathaway offered to fly drones over cemeteries to assist with documentation. "Mr. Kucikas mentioned he would like to see us pursue funding to restore fallen headstones," a commissioner reported during discussion.
