Help Us Preserve History

The extreme weather of the winter of 2008-2009 inflicted more damage to our cemetery than we've seen in decades. High winds resulted in trees being blown down, fallen limbs, and stones either damaged or shifted on their bases. As a result of this, we now have a significant number of gravestones and monuments that are in dire need of being repaired.

Thanks to the many volunteers who contributed both their time and energies, the cemetery grounds have been cleaned and restored. Now we need your financial support to properly restore the gravestones that have been entrusted to our care so that they may continue to exist for future generations. So we ask that you please consider making a donation to our Adopt-A-Monument fund. The Adopt-A-Monument fund will be used exclusively to repair, restore, and conserve the 180 years of history represented by the Adams State Road Cemetery.
