HOPE Crew: Re-setting Headstones in Chalmette
Channel: National Trust for Historic Preservation
Date: 2016-05-02

Join preservation mason Emily Ford as she takes us through the process of how to re-set headstones in historic cemeteries, such as Chalmette National Cemetery. Emily led teams of volunteers throughout the month of March in an effort to clean, re-set and document some of the more than 14,000 headstones that mark the gravesites of veterans of the Spanish-American War, World Wars I and II, and the Vietnam War.
