HSM Will Clean Headstones During May

Written By The Mountain Eagle on 4/12/25 | 4/12/25

MIDDLETOWN - The Historical Society of the Town of Middletown (HSM) will offer a headstone cleaning service at Middletown area cemeteries during the month of May. In the weeks leading up to Memorial Day, HSM’s trained volunteers will use D-2, a non-toxic cleaning agent, to remove algae, lichen and age-related grime from monuments and headstones in this annual fundraiser.

This service is provided at a cost of $30 for a single stone, $50 for two stones or a two-sided stone. To take advantage of this offer, send a check and contact information, along with name(s) on the headstone(s) and the cemetery, to HSM, PO Box 734, Margaretville, NY 12455.

For more information, leave a message at 845-586-2400, or historicalsocietyofmiddletown@gmail.com.

The Historical Society is preparing for its 2025 season of programs and special events. Find details at mtownhistory.org.
