Neighbors React to Cemetery Story

I’m a Georgetown resident and was moved by your article in the Georgetowner on the Mt. Zion cemetery. I’ve seen the tombstones lying about and thought it was a result of vandalism – never realizing it was from neglect. Just awful.

We just finished reading your article “Death of a Cemetery” in the new Georgetowner. We are interested to become involved in the restoration efforts and would greatly appreciate if you could provide us with more details or put us in touch with the people already working on this.

We have been living only a block away from the cemetery at Kew Gardens (2700 Q Street NW) and have passed it many times over the past year and a half that we have been calling Georgetown our home. However, we have been unaware of its history until we read the article today. We would like to help where possible.
