Volunteers who wish to help in the Mount Laurel Cemetery clean-up can show up the day of the event. Wear gloves and bring some gardening tools, if available.

It happens on Aug. 18 at 6:30 p.m. at the Society’s headquarters on N. Centre St. in Pottsville. The cost for this event is free to all Historical Society members and $5 for the general public.
