This multi-use trail will ultimately connect New Buffalo to Chicago. The grant request is for $300,000 and the remaining of the project will be funded with RAISE, a federal grant from the US Department of Transportation.

Cemeteries are more than meets the eye. These historic sites contain art, stories and landscapes that tell everyone a great deal about the past and present. Henthorn will share ways he and his students at the University of Michigan-Flint are working to make cemeteries active public spaces through preservation and how to interpret these historic gems in communities.

Henthorn will give the current technology and procedures to preserve cemetery headstones and structures in relation to cleaning, repairing and restoring monuments to someone’s local and family history.

Henthorn is the Wyatt Endowed Professor of Public History at the University of Michigan-Flint. His research and teaching interests examine the intersection of public history and urban history. He created the cemetery preservation program in 2015. Members of the Rebecca Dewey chapter will present methods to research and locate cemetery history and burials.

A hands-on workshop for any that are interested is scheduled for May 18 at a local cemetery - just in time to plan the cleaning of family’s grave markers for Memorial Day.
