Join Historic Germanna as we partake in the nationwide cleanup of historic sites and battlefields by sprucing up Historic Salubria and its grounds.
A variety of indoor and outdoor activities will be available, including:
-Cleaning up the Salubria Community Cemetery (clearing brush, picking up deadfall, cutting back saplings)
-Repairing the split-rail fence (digging holes, inserting fence posts)
-Tidying up outside the house (picking up deadfall, raking leaves)
-Tidying up inside the house (sweeping, dusting)
All participants will be treated to a special, behind-the-scenes tour of Salubria with Historic Germanna staff.
Volunteers should meet at the parking area beside Historic Salubria. Follow the gravel driveway through the gate, and park near the modern cottage. We will convene near there.
We have some tools available, but if you have your own, bring it! We will be using clippers, loppers, brooms, rakes, dusters, and shovels. Volunteers should also bring gloves and any other protective gear. Wear sturdy shoes, long-sleeves and pants.
In case of inclement weather, Park Day will be moved to Saturday May 3.
