Colchester Cemeteries

RAIN, RAIN, RAIN.... The rain was light and the temperature was just right to spend a few hours cleaning and resetting monuments at the Old Methodist Cemetery on Main St. in Colchester.  Thank you to all volunteers and VOCA members who got muddy and wet. It was nice to meet the new folks and hope those that are now hooked on this to keep coming back to this page, the Town of Colchester social media and VOCA FB page to see what and when is next.  I hope in the next a couple of weeks to have a few before and after shots so everyone can see the good work that was done.
