Brighton’s oldest cemetery is due for its annual grounds restoration on Saturday, May 6 from 9 am-Noon. This will be the Ninth Annual Spring Day of Restoration as we prepare all the gravesites including those of United States Veterans for the upcoming Memorial Day remembrance.
This is a wonderful opportunity to donate a Saturday morning to assist in such a worthwhile effort. Helping to enrich your hometown with community involvement is an important civic public service. Please feel free to bring your school-age children.
There have been tremendous joint efforts by many to improve the appearance of this burial ground. The initial proposal by the Brighton Area Historical Society in 2009 was graciously embraced by the former City Manager, Dana Foster.
Prior to the pitch, some may remember that the cemetery was locked closed all day to any visitors. Brush and weed trees totally encompassed the cemetery’s perimeter making it impossible to see into the grounds. Many headstones around the perimeter were covered by brush and impossible to see.
Today you will see beautiful grounds that are under the canopy of mature trees. As you gaze down on the millpond from Brighton’s 1838 cemetery, you will enjoy viewing the glistening diamonds of light that reflect off the gentle waves of the water. The early founders of Brighton indeed selected a beautiful setting for the burial grounds of famiy and friends. The cemetery is open to all during the daylight hours.
Please join us to continue the transformation on May 6. Bring work gloves and a lawn rake. The recent winds removed the leaves from the ground, but left small broken branches everywhere. You will be guaranteed a wonderful feeling when you are done!
