The Owensville Cemetery West Association welcomes volunteers from all walks of life to join us in preserving this historic site.

We want to start hosting an Annual Volunteer Day, where individuals and groups come together to help clean the cemetery, trim trees, clear brush, and place flags and flowers to honor those buried here. It’s a powerful way to give back, connect with the past, and support a cause rooted in respect and unity.

Skills and Interests

Someone who has a passion for history, community service, or preservation. Someone who just wants to support the cemetery. If you have skills that include landscaping, research, storytelling, organization, events, or grant writing, that would assist us greatly. But most of all, just a caring heart and willingness to help is what really matters.

A Story of Impact: Wonderful Examples of Pure Kindness.

We are deeply grateful to Lisa Baker, her husband Paul, and the American Legion for stepping up with heart and purpose to organize volunteers for a major cemetery clean-up, an act of kindness that truly uplifted our mission. We are also thankful sincerely for Kayla Sanders, who regenerated support and access to machinery, making it possible and safely to remove the old segregate fence, turning a painful symbol of division into a powerful act of unity. These individuals are shining examples of what it means to honor the past and help build a better future for Owensville Cemetery.
