Swift Run Cemetery

My name is Maggie Olsen. I’ve been working at the burial ground on Low Dutch Road and have just recently moved to the one on Swift Run. Many of the graves on Low Dutch are in poor shape and I try to avoid anything that is not structurally sound so I avoid doing any damage. I think there will be more to work with at Swift Run. Here are some before and after pictures, including one of my little helper Amos, who likes to nap in the grass while I clean. I the cleaning agent I’m using continues to work over time and will brighten the graves in the weeks after the initial cleaning. I’ll send more as I continue to work!

I studied history locally and have a particular interest in cemetery preservation, as well as the frontier history of the Gettysburg area. I live right down the road and responded to a sign Alan posted asking for volunteers. I am using D2, and it is indeed very effective. I would appreciate being added to the mailing list.
