Oakwood Cemetery Documentation Day

Save Austins Cemeteries

Join us as we continue our project to document the current condition of the graves in Oakwood Cemetery. Bring a camera if you have one or just come by. We'll work in teams of photographers and data recorders. Be sure to wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes (the terrain is uneven) and comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing. Sunscreen and a hat, too, if you need them. Documentation Day is on the first Saturday of each month from October to May, weather permitting. To receive updates on event information and other SAC news, send a request to info@sachome.org to be added to our email list.
