Volunteers are currently being sought to assist in the cleanup of a cemetery on the grounds of the former Central State Hospital. Last month a partnership between the City and Indiana Downs resulted in the major cleanup of downed trees, brush and trash on the grounds. The next step to clean up the property includes the cleaning of approximately 500 in-ground grave markers.
The cleanup will occur on Saturday September 25th from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the cemetery located on Tibbs Avenue about a block north of Washington Street. Volunteers will be required to sign a waiver to enter the property. Those under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and also sign a waiver.
Keep Indianapolis Beautiful will supply gloves and trash bags. Work will proceed rain or shine. In the event of severe weather, the cleanup will take place on Sunday September 26th. Participants can park at the state highway Tibbs Avenue maintenance garage which is just south of the cemetery on the west side of Tibbs.
For more information on how you can volunteer please contact John Bartholomew at (317) 327-6709
