The Guthrie County Historical Village and Museum Foundation will be hosting a project geared at restoring area miniature monoliths. The Foundation will be repairing and cleaning headstones at the Greenwood Cemetery just one mile east of Panora tomorrow from 9am-noon.

Foundation Board member Rod Stanley talks about the chemical used to clean the monuments. “We will be furnishing the cleaning materials, which is a special material called D2 that we use on particularly the marble stones, which most of these stones are. Works really fantastic. It’s an amazing chemical that’s basically biologically safe. You don’t have to wear gloves. Doesn’t hurt the environment but it does an amazing job of cleaning these stones up.”

The cemetery is located a half mile south on Viceroy Trail in Cass Township. Registration is requested so that the Foundation can provide enough tools and supplies.
