Description
Are you interested in participating in a community volunteer project? Join us for Park Day! This year's volunteer projects include painting the Brooder Barn at Ellwood and cleaning the perimeter wall and gravestones at the Fairview Cemetery on the Chancellorsville Battlefield.
Participants should report to Ellwood (36380 Constitution Highway, Orange, VA 22960) at 9 am to register for the event. Following a short presentation and a safety briefing, participants will be divided into two groups, one for each project. The projects are expected to last until around 12 noon. Make sure to dress appropriately for working outside and be prepared with water, bug spray, and sun protection.
Park Day is an annual volunteer event that brings thousands of volunteers to battlefields and historic sites across the country. To learn more about Park Day or to see other participating sites, visit Park Day | American Battlefield Trust.
