Adopt a Cemetery
There are more than 70 historic cemeteries located within the Parkway boundaries. This exciting project identifies cemetery boundaries, and assists in cleaning and maintenance. The project will expand to include grave marker data collection for the Blue Ridge (BLRI) Cemetery Database, and locating birth/death/marriage records in the local county courthouse with the potential of locating heirs. This is fascinating work for new or dedicated genealogy enthusiasts especially.
