Cemetery Restoration
Gravestone Restoration & Repair
We proudly partner with Texas Cemetery Restoration to preserve and restore aging headstones and markers in historic cemeteries including Young, Collinsworth, Old City, and Davis. In addition to restoration work, we've enhanced these sites by installing new fences, gates, driveways, and walking paths, improving accessibility while protecting their historic integrity.
Wayside Signs
In addition to our cemetery restoration efforts, we design and install educational wayside signs, research and write content that brings history to life at historic cemeteries, trails, and other significant sites.
Have an idea for a sign or location? We'd love to hear it! Contact us - we welcome your ideas!
Heritage Cemetery Tours
We strive to make Plano's historic cemeteries welcoming and accessible for both local and visitors. Over the years, we've hosted events like Tombstone Mysteries, Hike Through History, Veteran's Day ceremonies, and Wreaths Across America, each designed to highlight hidden historical gems and foster a more connected, informed community.
We’re always exploring new ways to bring local history to life, and we welcome fresh ideas and collaborations to keep that tradition going!
Supporting Eagle Scouts
We’re proud to support Scouts on their journey to Eagle Scout by offering a variety of impactful project opportunities in our historic cemeteries across North Texas.
