Our Foundation
MADE POSSIBLE THANKS TO THE
GENEROSITY OF OUR COMMUNITY
Mission
To preserve and enhance the beauty and historical integrity of Glenwood Cemetery through projects beyond the scope of day to day operations, such as monument restoration, landscape improvements, and special projects such as erosion control.
About the Foundation
Recognizing the value of Glenwood to our community, the Glenwood Cemetery Historic Preservation Foundation was formed in 1999 to raise funds for the preservation of historic Glenwood Cemetery beyond the scope of day-to-day maintenance and operation. GCHPF is uniquely situated as the sole steward of Glenwood and essential to its preservation. The efforts taken by the GCHPF have been instrumental and necessary for the preservation of Glenwood Cemetery. Among other projects, monuments have been restored that would have otherwise fallen into disrepair, land maintained that was at risk of being lost and causing irreparable damage, and greenspace conserved for the betterment of the community.
