PEPA
is funding the restoration of the Anderson Hill Cemetery, Purchase's
oldest burial grounds. Landscaping and clean-up are underway with
volunteer support from PEPA members and local students. They have
already removed invasive plants and repaired the stone wall along
Anderson Hill Road.
In recognition of the burial ground's cultural and historical significance, PEPA has hired professional staff to oversee the project. Work will soon begin on the monuments and headstones; many decayed and blackened by pollution and neglect.
Anyone interested in making contributions to the Anderson Family Cemetery project may send a specially designated tax-deductible donation to PEPA.
