Part 1 is a Power point presentation on June 14, 2024, Kankakee Community College, South Extension Center, 1488 E. Walnut, Watseka, Room #SE05, from 9:30 a.m.-noon. The presentation will focus on why we preserve cemeteries and the basic methods used to do this. Typical work is mostly on the cleaning, repairing, and resetting of marble markers that are common in nearly all cemeteries in Illinois. Do's and Don'ts of cemetery preservation will be discussed to help you understand why some methods will work to preserve the gravestones and why other methods will damage them. Using improper methods and products will lead to a loss of important information.
