In 2010, a group of concerned citizens came together to form "Friends of Muskalonge Cemetery", whose sole purpose was to restore the vandalized grounds of this pioneer cemetery. The Friends of the cemetery have held work parties to get that effort off the ground; and anticipate 3 - 5 year restoration plan at this cemetery. Thank you to all those in the community who have helped. Check back to see what research has been uncovered at Muskalonge Cemetery. !!
