We partner with Texas Cemetery Restoration to preserve and restore aging headstones and markers in historic cemeteries such as Young, Collinsworth, Old City, and Davis. In addition to restoration efforts, we’ve enhanced these sites by installing new fences, gates, driveways, and walking paths to improve accessibility and protect their historic integrity.
Alongside our cemetery restoration work, we also create educational wayside signs—researching, writing, and installing them at historic cemeteries, trails, and other meaningful places.
We strive to make Plano’s historic cemeteries welcoming and accessible for both locals and visitors. Through annual events like Tombstone Mysteries, Hike Through History, Veterans Day, and Wreaths Across America, we highlight Plano’s hidden historical gems and help foster a more informed and connected community.
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.
