Our Annual Fundraiser: Come see the changes since last year! Plus silent auction, cemetery tours, refreshments, and more! Please join us on Saturday, Oct. 3, for an afternoon of fun and fellowship at Halfway African American Cemetery, a historic site that was almost lost until cleanup began in 2020. Explore the cemetery, see progress made on important projects in the past year, and learn about plans for the future. This year we&rsquo;re raising funds specifically for a Preservation and Site Plan for the cemetery&rsquo;s future. This professional plan will address issues like headstone repair, placement of stones, landscaping, paths, signage, long-term maintenance, and so on. We&rsquo;ve received a $10,000 Heritage Fund Grant for this project, through Preservation Maryland, and now we need to match that amount through fundraising. We&rsquo;ll have tours, light refreshments, our usual fabulous silent auction, and more! Visit with cemetery descendants, historians, archaeologists, and our board of directors. Some 400 black citizens of Hagerstown were buried at Halfway between 1897 and 1932. We invite you to help us restore and preserve this historic African American cemetery, by attending or supporting this event.&nbsp; Tentative Program:3:00 Start time; bidding on Silent Auction begins3:30 Cemetery Stories Tour4:00 Welcome &amp; introductions4:20 (TBA)4:45 Silent Auction bidding closes4:50 Silent Auction winners announced(Rain date is the following afternoon, Sunday, Oct. 4, same time.)
